Genes affected

COL6A2 (HGNC:2212): (collagen type VI alpha 2 chain) This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues. The product of this gene contains several domains similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains. These domains have been shown to bind extracellular matrix proteins, an interaction that explains the importance of this collagen in organizing matrix components. Mutations in this gene are associated with Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy. Three transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.014705882 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 8, offset of -48, new splice context is: ccctccttcctgctgctcAGggc. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 21-46116768-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr21-46116768-A-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 1691316.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The c.955-2A>C variant is not present in publicly available population databases like 1000 Genomes, Exome Variant Server (EVS), Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC), Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) and Indian Exome Database. The variant is not present in our in-house exome database. The variant was previously identified in similarly affected patients, published in literatures (PMID: 34167565, 29419890, 27453230, 20976770, 18366090, 15689448) and reported to Human Genome Mutation Database (HGMD ID: CS050380). In-silico pathogenicity prediction programs like MutationTaster2, CADD, Varsome, HSF3.1 etc. predicted this variant to be likely deleterious. Different algorithms to predict mRNA splicing abnormalities, predicted this variant to potentially affect splicing. -
