Genes affected
COL1A1 (HGNC:2197): (collagen type I alpha 1 chain) This gene encodes the pro-alpha1 chains of type I collagen whose triple helix comprises two alpha1 chains and one alpha2 chain. Type I is a fibril-forming collagen found in most connective tissues and is abundant in bone, cornea, dermis and tendon. Mutations in this gene are associated with osteogenesis imperfecta types I-IV, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIIA, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Classical type, Caffey Disease and idiopathic osteoporosis. Reciprocal translocations between chromosomes 17 and 22, where this gene and the gene for platelet-derived growth factor beta are located, are associated with a particular type of skin tumor called dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, resulting from unregulated expression of the growth factor. Two transcripts, resulting from the use of alternate polyadenylation signals, have been identified for this gene. [provided by R. Dalgleish, Feb 2008]

The COL1A1 c.3421C>T; p.Arg1141Ter variant (rs72656314) is reported in the literature in individuals affected with osteogenesis imperfecta (Balasubramanian 2016, Bardai 2017, Chen 2022, Higuchi 1994, Mei 2022, Tuysuz 2022, Willing 1994). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 17337), but is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Balasubramanian M et al.

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is predicted to introduce a premature stop codon in exon 46 of COL1A1 and is expected to lead to degradation of the affected transcript. Loss-of-function variants in COL1A1 are an established cause of osteogenesis imperfecta, which is the clinical diagnosis of the proband. This variant is absent in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). We have observed this variant in the Shriners Hospital for Children-Canada variant database in an unrelated individual with osteogenesis imperfecta.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1141*) in the COL1A1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in COL1A1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7942841, 9295084, 9443882). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with osteogenesis imperfecta (PMID: 7942841, 9067755, 16705691, 28378289). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17337). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000017337 /PMID: 7942841 /3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.3421C>T (p.R1141*) alteration, located in exon 46 (coding exon 46) of the COL1A1 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3421. This changes the amino acid from a arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 1141. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. for COL1A1-related OI/ overlap disorder; however, its clinical significance for Caffey disease and COL1A1-related Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is uncertain. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with COL1A1-related osteogenesis imperfecta/overlap disorder; in at least one individual, it was determined to be de novo (Körkkö, 1997; Higuchi, 2021; Lin, 2024) Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
