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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.1791707).

The M1866I variant in the LAMA2 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The M1866I variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). However, the M1866I variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved, and in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. We interpret M1866I as a variant of uncertain significance. -

This 5 year old female has a history of global developmental delay, hypotonia, plagiocephaly, and abnormalities of blood clotting, and is compound heterozygous for variants in the LAMA2 gene. Compound heterozygous or homozygous LAMA2 variants are associated with a spectrum of muscular dystrophy phenotypes from severe, early-onset congenital muscular dystrophy to a milder later childhood onset limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. The c.5598G>T variant is absent from population databases (ExAC and gnomAD). Computational models are inconsistent. Follow-up testing showed mildly elevated CK levels 212 (reference range 26-192). -
