Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4_Strong BS1_Supporting

The NM_198129.4(LAMA3):c.8851C>T(p.Arg2951Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00247 in 1,614,022 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 10 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/19 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R2951H) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

LAMA3 (HGNC:6483): (laminin subunit alpha 3) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the laminin family of secreted molecules. Laminins are heterotrimeric molecules that consist of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits that assemble through a coiled-coil domain. Laminins are essential for formation and function of the basement membrane and have additional functions in regulating cell migration and mechanical signal transduction. This gene encodes an alpha subunit and is responsive to several epithelial-mesenchymal regulators including keratinocyte growth factor, epidermal growth factor and insulin-like growth factor. Mutations in this gene have been identified as the cause of Herlitz type junctional epidermolysis bullosa and laryngoonychocutaneous syndrome. Alternative splicing and alternative promoter usage result in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.0075652897).
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.0014 (213/152280) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.00254 (173/68018). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00223. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 82 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Apr 27, 2017	This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Variant summary: LAMA3 c.4024C>T (p.Arg1342Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.001 in 251434 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 1.2 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in LAMA3 causing Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa phenotype (0.00087), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.4024C>T has been reported in the literature as R1331C in at-least one individual affected with a mild clinical manifestation of Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa with normal hemidesmosome by electron microscopy and normal Laminin 5 staining by immunofluorescence (example, Nakano_2002). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. 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 uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
