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]

not specified Benign:3

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Aug 22, 2014	This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Aug 23, 2021	Variant summary: COL3A1 c.1051-13G>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 2/2 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00085 in 150898 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.003 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database (v3.1 genomes dataset), including 1 homozygote. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2000 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in COL3A1 causing Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Vascular Type phenotype (1.5e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1051-13G>A in individuals affected with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Vascular Type and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Apr 21, 2016	c.1051-13G>A in intron 15 of COL3A1: This variant is not expected to have clinic al significance because it has been identified in 0.37% (11/3000) of African chr omosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.o rg; dbSNP rs371934572). -
