Genes affected

LAMA2 (HGNC:6482): (laminin subunit alpha 2) Laminin, an extracellular protein, is a major component of the basement membrane. It is thought to mediate the attachment, migration, and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. It is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, which are bound to each other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule. This gene encodes the alpha 2 chain, which constitutes one of the subunits of laminin 2 (merosin) and laminin 4 (s-merosin). Mutations in this gene have been identified as the cause of congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy. Two transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this gene.

Merosin deficient congenital muscular dystrophy Pathogenic:9 Other:1

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Breda Genetics srl	Mar 13, 2019	The variant c.2045_2046delAG (p.Arg683Serfs*21) in the LAMA2 gene is reported as pathogenic for merosin deficient congenital muscular dystrophy in ClinVar (Variation ID: 38340) and as effect unknown in the Whole Genome datasets LAMA2 LOVD database v.3.0 (genomic variant: #0000691061). This variant creates a shift in the reading frame which is predicted to result in a premature stop codon 21 amino acids downstream and is likely to result in a truncated protein or protein loss due to nonsense-mediated messenger decay (NMD). The variant is reported with an estimated allele frequency of 0.0001 in gnomAD exomes, 0.0001 in gnomAD genomes and 0.0002 in NHLI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), with no homozygous individuals reported. This variant – also known in the literature as c.2049_2050del or Lys682LysfsX22 – is one of the most frequently reported pathogenic variant in the LAMA2 gene, being identified in several individuals affected by congenital muscular dystrophy (e.g. PMIDs: 9541105, 27854218, 25544356, 30055037). -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg683Serfs*21) in the LAMA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LAMA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18700894, 32904964). This variant is present in population databases (rs751627052, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with congenital muscular dystrophy (PMID: 9541105, 18700894, 24611677, 25544356). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
