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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.006021359 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.8, offset of -44, new splice context is: ctgGTcagc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 2-189007939-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-189007939-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 101132.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, type 4 Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Apr 25, 2023	Variant summary: COL3A1 c.3417+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a canonical 5' splicing donor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant indeed affects mRNA splicing and results in the in-frame skipping of exon 46 (e.g. PMID:22019127). This is expected to affect the triple-helical region of the encoded protein and alterations of glycine residues within the collagen triple-helix are common mechanisms of disease. The variant was absent in 251444 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3417+1G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Vascular Type (PMID: 22019127, 24922459). These data indicate that the variant is likely associated with disease. Two submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and both classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Dec 26, 2023	This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 46 of the COL3A1 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with clinical features of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (PMID: 22019127, 24922459; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 101132). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 46, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 22019127). This variant disrupts the triple helix domain of COL3A1. Glycine residues within the Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeats of the triple helix domain are required for the structure and stability of fibrillar collagens (PMID: 7695699, 8218237, 19344236). In COL3A1, variants that affect these glycine residues are significantly enriched in individuals with disease (PMID: 24922459, 25758994) compared to the general population (ExAC). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
