Genes affected

COL11A2 (HGNC:2187): (collagen type XI alpha 2 chain) This gene encodes one of the two alpha chains of type XI collagen, a minor fibrillar collagen. It is located on chromosome 6 very close to but separate from the gene for retinoid X receptor beta. Type XI collagen is a heterotrimer but the third alpha chain is a post-translationally modified alpha 1 type II chain. Proteolytic processing of this type XI chain produces PARP, a proline/arginine-rich protein that is an amino terminal domain. Mutations in this gene are associated with type III Stickler syndrome, otospondylomegaepiphyseal dysplasia (OSMED syndrome), Weissenbacher-Zweymuller syndrome, autosomal dominant non-syndromic sensorineural type 13 deafness (DFNA13), and autosomal recessive non-syndromic sensorineural type 53 deafness (DFNB53). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene is located nearby on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change falls in intron 21 of the COL11A2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the COL11A2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with COL11A2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179480). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The 1872+5G>A v ariant in the 5' splice region of COL11A2 has been identified by our laboratory in one proband with hearing loss and also segregated with the hearing loss in tw o affected family members (LMM-unpublished data). It has not been identified in large population studies. Computational tools suggest an impact to splicing, tho ugh this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In sum mary, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certai nty; however, based upon the possible impact on splicing and the segregation dat a, we lean towards a more likely pathogenic role. -
