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.

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Dec 05, 2023	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 426 of the LAMA4 protein (p.Arg426His). This variant is present in population databases (rs369658574, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LAMA4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 44341). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -

The R426H variant of uncertain significance in the LAMA4 gene has not been published as pathogenic or been reported as benign in association with cardiac disease to our knowledge. This variant is observed 0.003%-0.006% alleles from individuals across ethnic groups in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The R426H variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. Finally, in-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support a deleterious effect. Thus, this variant lacks observation in a significant number of affected individuals, segregation data, and functional evidence, which would further clarify its pathogenicity. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is pathogenic or rare benign. -
