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:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 21, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr2358*) 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 (rs762806915, gnomAD 0.04%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with congenital muscular dystrophy (PMID: 9674786). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 431964). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
