Genes affected
LAMA2 (HGNC:6482): (laminin subunit alpha 2) Laminin, an extracellular protein, is a major component of the basement membrane. It is thought to mediate the attachment, migration, and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. It is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, which are bound to each other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule. This gene encodes the alpha 2 chain, which constitutes one of the subunits of laminin 2 (merosin) and laminin 4 (s-merosin). Mutations in this gene have been identified as the cause of congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy. Two transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this gene.

Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The LAMA2 p.Ser541Gly variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in Cosmic or LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs141363186) and ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae, likely benign by GeneDx and a VUS by EGL Genetics, Genetics Services Laboratory (University of Chicago) and Athena Diagnostics). The variant was also identified in control databases in 465 of 282658 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.001645 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European (non-Finnish) in 357 of 129082 chromosomes (freq: 0.002766), Ashkenazi Jewish in 23 of 10368 chromosomes (freq: 0.002218), Other in 10 of 7222 chromosomes (freq: 0.001385), South Asian in 34 of 30616 chromosomes (freq: 0.001111), Latino in 31 of 35400 chromosomes (freq: 0.000876) and African in 10 of 24916 chromosomes (freq: 0.000401), while the variant was not observed in the East Asian and European (Finnish) populations. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. The p.Ser541 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 22, 2024Variant summary: LAMA2 c.1621A>G (p.Ser541Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Laminin IV domain (IPR000034) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0027 in 1613948 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 10 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 1.19 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in LAMA2 causing Laminin Alpha 2-Related Dystrophy phenotype (0.0022) suggesting the variant may be benign. c.1621A>G has been reported in the literature in a homozygous and compound heterozygous individual with an unspecified suspected muscular disorder, without evidence of causality (e.g. Thuriot_2020). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Laminin Alpha 2-Related Dystrophy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32337335). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 92939). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Congenital muscular dystrophy due to partial LAMA2 deficiency Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 12, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
