Genes affected
LAMA2 (HGNC:6482): (laminin subunit alpha 2) Laminin, an extracellular protein, is a major component of the basement membrane. It is thought to mediate the attachment, migration, and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. It is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, which are bound to each other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule. This gene encodes the alpha 2 chain, which constitutes one of the subunits of laminin 2 (merosin) and laminin 4 (s-merosin). Mutations in this gene have been identified as the cause of congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy. Two transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this gene.

LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 19, 2024Variant summary: LAMA2 c.5476C>T (p.Arg1826X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 251122 control chromosomes. c.5476C>T has been reported in the literature in the presumed compound heterozygous state in at least 1 individual affected with Laminin Alpha 2-Related Dystrophy (example, Tan_2021). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34702656). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265426). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 17, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1826*) in the LAMA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LAMA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18700894, 32904964). This variant is present in population databases (rs747349942, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 9829280, 20207543, 24611677, 25214167). This variant is also known as c.5525C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265426). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 23, 2021The c.5476C>T (p.R1826*) alteration, located in exon 38 (coding exon 38) of the LAMA2 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 5476. This changes the amino acid from an arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 1826. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database, the LAMA2 c.5476C>T alteration was observed in <0.01% (7/251122) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.01% (2/18386) in the East Asian subpopulation. This mutation has been detected in the compound heterozygous state and confirmed in trans with a second LAMA2 alteration in several unrelated patients with congenital muscular dystrophy (Naom, 1998; Geranmayeh, 2010; Savarese, 2014; Xiong, 2015; Cauley, 2020). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
