Genes affected
COL12A1 (HGNC:2188): (collagen type XII alpha 1 chain) This gene encodes the alpha chain of type XII collagen, a member of the FACIT (fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helices) collagen family. Type XII collagen is a homotrimer found in association with type I collagen, an association that is thought to modify the interactions between collagen I fibrils and the surrounding matrix. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

⚠️ The allele balance in gnomAD version 4 Genomes is significantly skewed from the expected value of 0.5. (p-value = 0.000000000000000888178), which strongly suggests a high chance of mosaicism in these individuals.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2834 of the COL12A1 protein (p.Pro2834Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs199693016, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of COL12A1-related conditions (PMID: 35903967; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 583345). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -

Variant summary: COL12A1 c.8501C>G (p.Pro2834Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 249184 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in COL12A1 causing Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy 2 (4.4e-05 vs 0.0035), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.8501C>G has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of COL12A1-related disorders, including an individual suspected of a heritable connective tissue disorder (Steinle_2022, internal data). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 35903967, 35918752). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 583345). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
