Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 0P and 0B.

The NM_000426.4(LAMA2):​c.1084_1085delAGinsTT​(p.Arg362Leu) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. The variant is present in control chromosomes in GnomAd MNV project. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000216 in 61 alleles, including 0 homozygotes. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type MNV, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R362I) has been classified as Likely benign.

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.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 362 of the LAMA2 protein (p.Arg362Leu). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 2.2%). 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: 543853). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
