Autosomal recessive Alport syndrome Pathogenic:5
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. -

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.007%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense variant In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.96 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.85 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000242442 /PMID: 17396119).The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 28632965).The variant has been reported to co-segregate with the disease in at least 5 similarly affected relatives/individuals in the same family or similarly affected unrelated family (PMID: 28632965). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
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. -
Alport syndrome Pathogenic:3
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. -
Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic Following criteria are met: 0103 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease for this gene and is associated with COL4A4-related nephropathy. Dominant negative is a suspected mechanism of disease for this gene as it is a structural protein (PMID: 12028435, 24046192). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease. Alport syndrome typically has biallelic inheritance, although rare cases of monoallelic inheritance have been reported. TBMN and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) are associated with autosomal dominant inheritance (OMIM, PMID: 28704582, 16467446, 17942953). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from glycine to arginine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 (v2: 19 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0601 - Variant is located in the well-established functional G-X-Y triple-helical region (Uniprot). (SP) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals with autosomal dominant Alport syndrome or haematuria. In addition, it is commonly reported to be in cis with a VUS (p.(Gly1465Asp)) (PMID: 26934356, 28632965, 17396119, 24854265). (SP) 0903 - This variant has limited evidence for segregation with disease. It has been reported in a single family with four affected individuals across two generations (PMID: 17396119). (SP) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
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. -

Reported with second variant on the opposite allele (in trans) in a two siblings with hematuria and thin basement membrane disease in published literature (Kovacs et al., 2016); Affects a glycine residue in a Gly-X-Y motif in the triple helical region of the COL4A4 gene; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31589614, 33532864, 28632965, 24854265, 34400539, 34584596, 17396119, 26934356) -
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 774 of the COL4A4 protein (p.Gly774Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs569681869, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal dominant Alport syndrome, autosomal recessive Alport syndrome, and basement membrane disease (PMID: 17396119, 26934356, 28632965, 33532864, 34584596). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 242442). 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 expected to disrupt COL4A4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
