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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.01764706 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.9, offset of 6, new splice context is: cccttctccttccgggcaAGctg. 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 21-46117398-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr21-46117398-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 476446.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.1000-2 A>C splice site variant in the COL6A2 gene destroys the canonical splice acceptor site for intron 10. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. This splice site variant occurs within the the triple helical (TH) domain of collagen VI, a region that is well-conserved across species. Additionally, this variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret c.1000-2 A>C as a pathogenic variant. -

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 10 of the COL6A2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in COL6A2 are known to be disease-causing for autosomal recessive COL6A2-related conditions (PMID: 21280092, 20976770). However, certain variants affecting donor or acceptor splice sites in the triple helical domain of COL6A2 are expected to result in in-frame exon skipping and have been reported to cause autosomal dominant COL6A2-related conditions (PMID: 18366090). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant COL6A2-related conditions (PMID: 17886299; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 476446). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with altered splicing resulting in multiple RNA products (PMID: 17886299). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
