Genes affected

COL4A3 (HGNC:2204): (collagen type IV alpha 3 chain) Type IV collagen, the major structural component of basement membranes, is a multimeric protein composed of 3 alpha subunits. These subunits are encoded by 6 different genes, alpha 1 through alpha 6, each of which can form a triple helix structure with 2 other subunits to form type IV collagen. This gene encodes alpha 3. In the Goodpasture syndrome, autoantibodies bind to the collagen molecules in the basement membranes of alveoli and glomeruli. The epitopes that elicit these autoantibodies are localized largely to the non-collagenous C-terminal domain of the protein. A specific kinase phosphorylates amino acids in this same C-terminal region and the expression of this kinase is upregulated during pathogenesis. This gene is also linked to an autosomal recessive form of Alport syndrome. The mutations contributing to this syndrome are also located within the exons that encode this C-terminal region. Like the other members of the type IV collagen gene family, this gene is organized in a head-to-head conformation with another type IV collagen gene so that each gene pair shares a common promoter.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.8, offset of -29, new splice context is: aagGTacaa. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-227290887-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-227290887-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 554710.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr2-227290887-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: COL4A3 c.3210+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict that the variant abolishes a 5-prime splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 244902 control chromosomes. c.3210+1G>A has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Alport Syndrome, Autosomal Recessive (e.g. Storey_2013). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Both laboratories cited the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 37 of the COL4A3 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in COL4A3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 8956999, 24854265, 26809805, 27281700). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive Alport syndrome (PMID: 24052634; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 554710). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
