Genes affected
COL4A3 (HGNC:2204): (collagen type IV alpha 3 chain) Type IV collagen, the major structural component of basement membranes, is a multimeric protein composed of 3 alpha subunits. These subunits are encoded by 6 different genes, alpha 1 through alpha 6, each of which can form a triple helix structure with 2 other subunits to form type IV collagen. This gene encodes alpha 3. In the Goodpasture syndrome, autoantibodies bind to the collagen molecules in the basement membranes of alveoli and glomeruli. The epitopes that elicit these autoantibodies are localized largely to the non-collagenous C-terminal domain of the protein. A specific kinase phosphorylates amino acids in this same C-terminal region and the expression of this kinase is upregulated during pathogenesis. This gene is also linked to an autosomal recessive form of Alport syndrome. The mutations contributing to this syndrome are also located within the exons that encode this C-terminal region. 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.

S1108_G1110del has been observed in a case with relevant disease (PMID: 33233744). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. S1108_G1110del has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: AMR 0.01%). In summary, there is insufficient evidence to classify NM_000091.4(COL4A3):c.3321_3329del9(S1108_G1110del) as pathogenic or benign. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 24, 2022This variant, c.3321_3329del, results in the deletion of 3 amino acid(s) of the COL4A3 protein (p.Ser1108_Gly1110del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs756539994, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individuals with clinical features of Alport syndrome (PMID: 12028435; Invitae). This variant is also known as c.3321del9. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553803). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -

COL4A3-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesOct 05, 2023The COL4A3 c.3321_3329del9 variant is predicted to result in an in-frame deletion (p.Ser1108_Gly1110del). This variant was reported in a female patient with microhematuria and proteinuria and other COL4A variants were not reported (Longo et al 2002. PubMed ID: 12028435).The c.3321_3329del9 variant was also reported with either COL4A4 or COL4A5 Gly substitution variants in three family members of a large family with proposed digenic inheritance for COL4A-related disorders (reported as c.3307_3315del in Zupan A et al 2020. PubMed ID: 33233744). At PreventionGenetics, we have observed the c.3321_3329del9 variant in the presence of a second COL4A3 variant in two patients with renal disorders (internal data). This variant is reported in 0.011% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD, indicating this variant may not be a primary cause of disease in the heterozygous state (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-228158002-CCCTGGAAGT-C). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive COL4A3-related disorders. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 07, 2023Variant summary: COL4A3 c.3321_3329delAAGTCCTGG (p.Ser1108_Gly1110del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove three amino acids from the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 249378 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in COL4A3 causing Alport Syndrome, Autosomal Recessive (4.4e-05 vs 0.0019), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.3321_3329delAAGTCCTGG has been reported in the literature as a non-informative genotype in individuals affected with microhematuria, proteinuria and other renal manifestations (example, Longo_2002, Frasca_2005, Zupan_2020). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Alport Syndrome, Autosomal Recessive. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 15618242, 36013122, 36292665, 12028435, 33233744). Seven submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Multiple submitters reported the variant with conflicting assessments (pathogenic/likely pathogenic, n=5; VUS, n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
