Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_198129.4(LAMA3):​c.6041delA​(p.Gln2014ArgfsTer15) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q2014Q) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected

LAMA3 (HGNC:6483): (laminin subunit alpha 3) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the laminin family of secreted molecules. Laminins are heterotrimeric molecules that consist of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits that assemble through a coiled-coil domain. Laminins are essential for formation and function of the basement membrane and have additional functions in regulating cell migration and mechanical signal transduction. This gene encodes an alpha subunit and is responsive to several epithelial-mesenchymal regulators including keratinocyte growth factor, epidermal growth factor and insulin-like growth factor. Mutations in this gene have been identified as the cause of Herlitz type junctional epidermolysis bullosa and laryngoonychocutaneous syndrome. Alternative splicing and alternative promoter usage result in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 549906). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive junctional epidermolysis bullosa (PMID: 27375110). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln405Argfs*15) in the LAMA3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LAMA3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10366601, 11810295, 12915477, 16473856, 17362460, 22434185, 23869449, 27827380, 28087116). -
