Genes affected

COL6A1 (HGNC:2211): (collagen type VI alpha 1 chain) The collagens are a superfamily of proteins that play a role in maintaining the integrity of various tissues. Collagens are extracellular matrix proteins and have a triple-helical domain as their common structural element. Collagen VI is a major structural component of microfibrils. The basic structural unit of collagen VI is a heterotrimer of the alpha1(VI), alpha2(VI), and alpha3(VI) chains. The alpha2(VI) and alpha3(VI) chains are encoded by the COL6A2 and COL6A3 genes, respectively. The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha 1 subunit of type VI collagen (alpha1(VI) chain). Mutations in the genes that code for the collagen VI subunits result in the autosomal dominant disorder, Bethlem myopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.994

Collagen 6-related myopathy Uncertain:1

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The COL6A1 c.1508G>A (p.Gly503Glu) variant is a missense variant. A literature search was conducted for the gene, cDNA change, and protein change. No publications were identified through this search. This variant is not found in Genome Aggregation Database despite its location in a region of adequate sequencing coverage, so the variant is presumed to be rare. The p.Gly503Glu variant affects one of the repeating Gly-Xaa-Yaa motifs of the highly conserved triple helical domain of collagen type VI, and glycine-affecting missense variants in this region are a common pathogenic mechanism in collagen type VI-related disorders (Lamandé et al. 2002; Lampe et al. 2005). Consistently, multiple in silico tools predict a deleterious effect of the p.Gly503Glu variant; however, these predictions have not been confirmed experimentally. Based on the limited evidence available, the p.Gly503Glu variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance for collagen type VI-related disorders. -

Bethlem myopathy 1A Uncertain:1

Jul 06, 2022

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 503 of the COL6A1 protein (p.Gly503Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with COL6A1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 542975). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt COL6A1 protein function. This variant disrupts the triple helix domain of COL6A1. Glycine residues within the Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeats of the triple helix domain are required for the structure and stability of fibrillar collagens (PMID: 7695699, 8218237, 19344236). In COL6A1, variants at these glycine residues are significantly enriched in individuals with autosomal dominant disease (PMID: 15689448, 24038877) compared to the general population (ExAC). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
