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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 15, 2019Variant summary: LAMA2 c.5914C>T (p.Gln1972X) 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 in the literature (Oliveira_2018). The variant was absent in 251280 control chromosomes. c.5914C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Laminin alpha 2-related dystrophy (example, Oliveira_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in a deficiency of laminin-alpha-2 by IHC in muscle/fibroblasts of affected patients (Oliveira_2018). Two 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 pathogenic (n=1)/likely pathogenic(n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 28, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1972*) 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 is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with congenital muscular dystrophy (PMID: 30055037; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 92971). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 06, 2020The c.5914C>T (p.Q1972*) alteration, located in exon 41 (coding exon 41) of the LAMA2 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 5914. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine (Q) to a stop codon at amino acid position 1972. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), the LAMA2 c.5914C>T alteration was not observed, with coverage at this position. This variant has been detected in a homozygous state in at least two individuals, one with a congenital muscular dystrophy phenotype and the other with an undescribed phenotype. It has also been detected in at least one individual in a heterozygous state with no second deleterious variant being found; however, this individual's phenotype was not described (Oliveira, 2018). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
