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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.0232 CDS is truncated, and there are 1 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 21-46132479-T-TG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr21-46132479-T-TG is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 476481.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the C-terminus of the COL6A2 protein. Other variant(s) that disrupt this region (p.Tyr1002*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 29419890). This suggests that variants that disrupt this region of the protein are likely to be causative of disease. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with COL6A2-related conditions. This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the COL6A2 gene (p.Phe997Valfs*7). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 23 amino acids of the COL6A2 protein. -
