Genes affected
COL6A3 (HGNC:2213): (collagen type VI alpha 3 chain) This gene encodes the alpha-3 chain, one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues. The alpha-3 chain of type VI collagen is much larger than the alpha-1 and -2 chains. This difference in size is largely due to an increase in the number of subdomains, similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains, that are found in the amino terminal globular domain of all the alpha chains. 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 the type VI collagen genes are associated with Bethlem myopathy, a rare autosomal dominant proximal myopathy with early childhood onset. Mutations in this gene are also a cause of Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy, also referred to as Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy, an autosomal recessive congenital myopathy that is more severe than Bethlem myopathy. Multiple transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature of only some of these variants has been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMay 07, 2018The R2993H variant in the COL6A3 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The R2993H variant is observed in 15/25792 (0.058%) alleles from individuals of Finnish background, and 75/276520 total alleles in large population cohorts and no individuals were reported to be homozygous (Lek et al., 2016). The R2993H variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. In-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. We interpret R2993H as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 14, 2023Variant summary: COL6A3 c.8978G>A (p.Arg2993His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Fibronectin type III domain (IPR003961) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00029 in 251564 control chromosomes. It was also identified in at least one control individual from a case-control study (Zech_2015). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.8978G>A in individuals affected with Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy 1 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26004199). Five submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014; four submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance, while one classified it as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
COL6A3-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 10, 2023The COL6A3 c.8978G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg2993His. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.072% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-238243520-C-T). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
