Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points: 2P and 5B. PM2BP4_StrongBP6

The NM_004369.4(COL6A3):c.2972C>T(p.Ala991Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000133 in 1,614,068 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 13/20 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A991E) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

Submissions by phenotype

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 02, 2021The c.2972C>T (p.A991V) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 6) of the COL6A3 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2972, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 991 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Tip-toe gait Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPractice for Gait Abnormalities, David Pomarino, Competency Network Toe Walking c/o Practice PomarinoNov 25, 2020We conducted a clinical examination of patients about toe walking. The COL6A3:c.2972C>T was detected in 1 patient. This variant has not yet been reported in the HGMD and LOVD databases or in the literature. However, it is classified in the ClinVar database as likely benigne in relation to Bethlem myopathy (1 entry). Different in-silico prediction programs [MutationTaster, PolyPhen-2, MutationAssessor] do not assign functional significance to the variant. Influence on altered splicing of mRNA could also not be determined [MutationTaster, varSEAK]. Based on the available data, this variant is classified as VUS. -
