Genes affected
COL4A4 (HGNC:2206): (collagen type IV alpha 4 chain) This gene encodes one of the six subunits of type IV collagen, the major structural component of basement membranes. This particular collagen IV subunit, however, is only found in a subset of basement membranes. Like the other members of the type IV collagen gene family, this gene is organized in a head-to-head conformation with another type IV collagen gene so that each gene pair shares a common promoter. Mutations in this gene are associated with type II autosomal recessive Alport syndrome (hereditary glomerulonephropathy) and with familial benign hematuria (thin basement membrane disease). Two transcripts, differing only in their transcription start sites, have been identified for this gene and, as is common for collagen genes, multiple polyadenylation sites are found in the 3' UTR.

Affects a glycine residue in a Gly-X-Y motif in the triple helical region of the COL4A4 gene, where the majority of pathogenic missense variants occur, and is predicted to disrupt normal protein folding and function (HGMD, Jais et al., 2000) (PMIDs 10752524); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24854265) -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447179). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal recessive Alport syndrome (PMID: 24854265). This variant is present in population databases (rs755649235, gnomAD 0.002%). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 373 of the COL4A4 protein (p.Gly373Glu). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt COL4A4 protein function. 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. -

The COL4A4 c.1118G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly373Glu. This variant was with a COL4A4 nonsense variant in an individual with Alport syndrome (Patient 26, Supplementary Table 1, Morinière et al 2014. PubMed ID: 24854265). The Gly373Glu variant affects a Gly residue of the conserved triple helical domain (residues 65 – 1459) of the COL4A4 protein (uniprot.org). The majority of pathogenic variants in COL4A4 substitute a glycine residue to a bulkier amino acid in the triple-helical domain (Hudson et al. 1993. PubMed ID: 8253711; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1207/).This variant is reported in 0.0018% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
