Genes affected
COL4A4 (HGNC:2206): (collagen type IV alpha 4 chain) This gene encodes one of the six subunits of type IV collagen, the major structural component of basement membranes. This particular collagen IV subunit, however, is only found in a subset of basement membranes. Like the other members of the type IV collagen gene family, this gene is organized in a head-to-head conformation with another type IV collagen gene so that each gene pair shares a common promoter. Mutations in this gene are associated with type II autosomal recessive Alport syndrome (hereditary glomerulonephropathy) and with familial benign hematuria (thin basement membrane disease). Two transcripts, differing only in their transcription start sites, have been identified for this gene and, as is common for collagen genes, multiple polyadenylation sites are found in the 3' UTR.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineMar 21, 2018The p.Arg377Cys variant in COL4A4 has not been previously reported in individual s with hearing loss or Alport syndrome. This variant is present in 0.03% (6/2392 ) African chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad. broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs555143841). Although this variant has been seen in t he general population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide s trong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Arg377Cys variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP criteria applied : PM2_Supporting. -
