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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.83).
BP6
Variant 2-237372342-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr2-237372342-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 128817.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000375 (57/152154) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.00131 (20/15280). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000867. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 25 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
