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.

The c.951_952insCT (p.C318Lfs*20) alteration, located in exon 7 (coding exon 7) of the LAMA2 gene, consists of an insertion of CT at position 951, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 20 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database, the LAMA2 c.951_952insCT alteration was observed in 0.0004% (1/251,280) of total alleles studied. This alteration was reported homozygous in a male patient with congenital muscular dystrophy (Pegoraro, 1998). A muscle biopsy at 7 months of age showed complete laminin alpha2 deficiency. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys318Leufs*20) in the LAMA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LAMA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18700894). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LAMA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552966). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
