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.

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

Variant summary: COL4A4 c.2320G>C (p.Gly774Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.2e-05 in 249564 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00042 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in COL4A4 causing Alport Syndrome, Autosomal Recessive (7.2e-05 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2320G>C has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with AD and AR Alport Syndrome (examples, Domingo-Gallego_2021, Kovacs_2016, Slajpah_2007). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33532864, 26934356, 17396119). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 242442). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

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

The missense variant c.2320G>C(p.Gly774Arg) in COL4A4 gene has been observed in heterozygous state in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal dominant Alport syndrome, autosomal recessive Alport syndrome, and basement membrane disease (Kopadze et. al., 2021; Papazachariou et. al., 2017). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant has been reported in cis with the COL4A4 variant c.4394G>C, p.(Gly1465Asp) in individuals and families with both dominant and recessive forms of Alport syndrome (Goka et. al., 2021; Papazachariou et. al., 2017). The p.Gly774Arg variant is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes and has allele frequency of 0.007% in gnomAD exomes database. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic / Uncertain Significance. The amino acid change p.Gly774Arg in COL4A4 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid Gly at position 774 is changed to a Arg changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. Functional studies will be required to confirm the pathogenicity of the variant. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic
Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: clinical testing

This individual is homozygous for the c.2320G>C p.(Gly774Arg) variant in the COL4A4 gene. This variant has been reported in the gnomAD browser (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) with a very low allele frequency of 0.007% (19 out of 277,186 alleles). This variant has been previously reported in the heterozygous state in multiple members within a family with hematuria (Slajpah et al. Kidney Int 2007; 71: 1287-1295). The c.2320G>C results in the substitution of one of the invariant glycine residues in the triple helical domain p.(Gly774Arg). This variant is considered to be likely pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines. -

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

This sequence change in COL4A4 is predicted to replace glycine with arginine at codon 774 (p.(Gly774Arg)). The glycine residue is evolutionarily conserved (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and alters a critical glycine residue in a collagen triple helix repeat (Gly-X-Y) in one of the intermediate collagenous domains. There is a large physicochemical difference between glycine and arginine. The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1 is 0.04% (13/30,598 alleles) in the South Asian population, which is lower than the credible allele frequency for recessive Alport syndrome. This variant has been reported in cis with the variant of uncertain significance c.4394G>C, p.(Gly1465Asp) in individuals and families with both dominant and recessive forms of Alport syndrome (PMID: 24033287, 26934356, 28632965, 29496980, 33048202, 33838161). It has been reported alone heterozygous in at least one proband with haematuria and compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic variant (confirmed in trans) in at least one proband with a clinical diagnosis of Alport syndrome (PMID: 24854265, 33532864). The variant has been reported to segregate alone with Alport syndrome with a dominant inheritance pattern in at least two families (PMID: 17396119, 28632965). Multiple lines of computational evidence predict a deleterious effect for the missense substitution (5/5 algorithms). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG Guidelines v1.4.0, this variant is classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PM1, PM3, PP1_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PP3. -
