LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy Pathogenic:1
This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 49 of the LAMA2 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 LAMA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18700894, 32904964). This variant is present in population databases (rs200669208, gnomAD 0.004%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with congenital muscular dystrophy (PMID: 18700894, 24611677). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551050). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
