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.

Variant summary: LAMA2 c.3532G>A (p.Ala1178Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Tie2 ligand-binding domain superfamily (IPR009254) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0012 in 1614050 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in LAMA2 causing Merosin deficient congenital muscular dystrophy (0.0012 vs 0.0035), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.3532G>A has been reported in the literature in at least one compound heterozygous individual affected with psychomotor impariment and polyneuropathy. These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 35710456). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 162576). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

The LAMA2 c.3532G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala1178Thr. This variant was reported as possibly causative variant in compound heterozygous state in an individual with Psychomotor retardation and polyneuropathy (Table S1, Schobers et al 2022. PubMed ID: 35710456). This variant is reported in 0.080% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/6-129635920-G-A). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
