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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionMay 22, 2022Substitution at the splicing junction produces an abnormal splicing effect, which is expected to cause a loss of normal protein function via nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant has been reported as pathogenic more than twice (ClinVar ID: VCV000550992, 3billion database), along with assertion criteria based on the ACMG guidelines. It has been reported with an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/) dataset. Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 12, 2021RT-PCR studies indicate that this variant leads to complete skipping of exon 58 in the LAMA2 gene and results in a significant decrease in mRNA levels (Siala et al., 2007); Canonical splice site variant predicted to result in a null allele in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 17949279, 19388593, 18700894, 20207543, 30055037, 25525159) -
LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 22, 2023This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 58 of the LAMA2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs749522728, gnomAD 0.0009%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with congenital muscular dystrophy (PMID: 17949279, 19388593, 20207543, 30055037). This variant is also known as IVS58+1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550992). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 58 and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 17949279). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
