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.

Variant summary: LAMA2 c.6128A>G (p.Gln2043Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Laminin domain II (IPR010307) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of four in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00053 in 250812 control chromosomes (including 1 homozygote), predominantly at a frequency of 0.00092 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in LAMA2 causing Laminin Alpha 2-Related Dystrophy (0.00053 vs 0.0022), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.6128A>G in individuals affected with Laminin Alpha 2-Related Dystrophy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as VUS (n=5) and likely benign (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Congenital muscular dystrophy due to partial LAMA2 deficiency Uncertain:1
Jan 13, 2018
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This 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. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
