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]

Variant summary: COL12A1 c.7853C>T (p.Thr2618Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Thrombospondin-like, N-terminal domain (IPR048287) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0003 in 206788 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in COL12A1 causing Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy 2 (0.0003 vs 0.0035), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.7853C>T has been reported in the literature in the heterozygous state in an individual with clinical features of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and other comorbidities who underwent WGS, and it has been reported as a VUS in a setting of multigene panel testing in an individual with cervical insufficiency (e.g. Volozonoka_2020, Tejada-Moreno_2022). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy 2 or other COL12A1-related disorders. 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: 36421793, 32214361). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 425388). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
