Genes affected
LAMB3 (HGNC:6490): (laminin subunit beta 3) The product encoded by this gene is a laminin that belongs to a family of basement membrane proteins. This protein is a beta subunit laminin, which together with an alpha and a gamma subunit, forms laminin-5. Mutations in this gene cause epidermolysis bullosa junctional Herlitz type, and generalized atrophic benign epidermolysis bullosa, diseases that are characterized by blistering of the skin. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Junctional epidermolysis bullosa gravis of Herlitz Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 10, 2018Variant summary: LAMB3 c.1978C>T (p.Arg660X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.2e-05 in 275670 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1978C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa (Christiano_1997, Yuen_2011, Varki_2006). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 12, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg660*) in the LAMB3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LAMB3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11023379, 16473856). This variant is present in population databases (rs146794392, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive junctional epidermolysis bullosa (PMID: 9160387, 21801158). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189034). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
