Genes affected
COL3A1 (HGNC:2201): (collagen type III alpha 1 chain) This gene encodes the pro-alpha1 chains of type III collagen, a fibrillar collagen that is found in extensible connective tissues such as skin, lung, uterus, intestine and the vascular system, frequently in association with type I collagen. Mutations in this gene are associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV, and with aortic and arterial aneurysms. [provided by R. Dalgleish, Feb 2008]

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces lysine with arginine at codon 833 of the COL3A1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 23/187998 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 833 of the COL3A1 protein (p.Lys833Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs371344739, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of COL3A1-related disease (internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 199701). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt COL3A1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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.

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

Variant summary: COL3A1 c.2498A>G (p.Lys833Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00013 in 156634 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The observed variant frequency is approximately 102 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in COL3A1 causing Aortopathy phenotype (1.3e-06). c.2498A>G has been observed in individuals affected with clinical features of COL3A1-related disease (Labcorp (formerly Invitae)). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 199701). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign.

Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; In silico analysis suggests that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Occurs in the triple helical domain at the Y position in the canonical Gly-X-Y repeat; although this variant may have an effect on normal protein folding and function, missense substitution at the Y position is not a common mechanism of disease (HGMD)

This missense variant replaces lysine with arginine at codon 833 of the COL3A1 protein. Computational prediction tool indicates that this variant may have a neutral impact on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with COL3A1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 23/187998 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

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

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
