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.

LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 31, 2023This variant is present in population databases (rs369776766, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1626*) 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 has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LAMA2-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 477476). -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 17, 2022Variant summary: LAMA2 c.4876C>T (p.Gln1626X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250824 control chromosomes (gnomAD). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.4876C>T in individuals affected with Laminin Alpha 2-Related Dystrophy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Two submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and both classified the variant as either pathogenic (n=1) or likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNew York Genome CenterJun 22, 2021The heterozygous c.4876C>T (p.Gln1626Ter) stop-gained variant identified in exon 34 (of 65) of the LAMA2 gene has not been reported in affected individuals in theliterature. The variant creates a premature translation termination codon and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The variant has been reported in the ClinVar database [Variation ID: 477476]. The variant has 0.00001971 allele frequency in the gnomAD(v3) database (3 out of 152206 heterozygous alleles, no homozygotes) suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in that database. Based on the available evidence, the heterozygous c.4876C>T (p.Gln1626Ter) stop-gained variant identified in the LAMA2 gene is reported as Likely Pathogenic. -
