Genes affected

LAMA4 (HGNC:6484): (laminin subunit alpha 4) Laminins, a family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins, are the major noncollagenous constituent of basement membranes. They have been implicated in a wide variety of biological processes including cell adhesion, differentiation, migration, signaling, neurite outgrowth and metastasis. Laminins are composed of 3 non identical chains: laminin alpha, beta and gamma (formerly A, B1, and B2, respectively) and they form a cruciform structure consisting of 3 short arms, each formed by a different chain, and a long arm composed of all 3 chains. Each laminin chain is a multidomain protein encoded by a distinct gene. Several isoforms of each chain have been described. Different alpha, beta and gamma chain isomers combine to give rise to different heterotrimeric laminin isoforms which are designated by Arabic numerals in the order of their discovery, i.e. alpha1beta1gamma1 heterotrimer is laminin 1. The biological functions of the different chains and trimer molecules are largely unknown, but some of the chains have been shown to differ with respect to their tissue distribution, presumably reflecting diverse functions in vivo. This gene encodes the alpha chain isoform laminin, alpha 4. The domain structure of alpha 4 is similar to that of alpha 3, both of which resemble truncated versions of alpha 1 and alpha 2, in that approximately 1,200 residues at the N-terminus (domains IV, V and VI) have been lost. Laminin, alpha 4 contains the C-terminal G domain which distinguishes all alpha chains from the beta and gamma chains. The RNA analysis from adult and fetal tissues revealed developmental regulation of expression, however, the exact function of laminin, alpha 4 is not known. Tissue-specific utilization of alternative polyA-signal has been described in literature. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 174 of the LAMA4 protein (p.Tyr174Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs202131320, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 31983221). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 44403). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LAMA4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The Tyr174Cys variant in LAMA4 has been identified by our laboratory in 1 Caucas ian individual with DCM (LMM unpublished data). This variant has also been ident ified in 1/1315 chromosomes from a clinically and racially unspecified populatio n (dbSNP rs202131320). Computational analyses (biochemical amino acid properties , conservation, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) do not provide strong support fo r or against an impact to the protein. Additional information is needed to fully assess the clinical significance of the Tyr174Cys variant. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The LAMA4 c.521A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Tyr174Cys. This variant was reported in both affected and control individuals in a dilated cardiomyopathy cohort (Tables S3 and S4, Mazzarotto et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 31983221). This variant is reported in 0.014% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/6-112513035-T-C). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
