Genes affected

COL6A3 (HGNC:2213): (collagen type VI alpha 3 chain) This gene encodes the alpha-3 chain, one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues. The alpha-3 chain of type VI collagen is much larger than the alpha-1 and -2 chains. This difference in size is largely due to an increase in the number of subdomains, similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains, that are found in the amino terminal globular domain of all the alpha chains. These domains have been shown to bind extracellular matrix proteins, an interaction that explains the importance of this collagen in organizing matrix components. Mutations in the type VI collagen genes are associated with Bethlem myopathy, a rare autosomal dominant proximal myopathy with early childhood onset. Mutations in this gene are also a cause of Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy, also referred to as Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy, an autosomal recessive congenital myopathy that is more severe than Bethlem myopathy. Multiple transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature of only some of these variants has been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points.

PVS1

Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.027690371 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.8, offset of 5, new splice context is: tgatctatctttcacttaAGatg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

PP3

Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect 5: Cadd, dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai, Eigen [when BayesDel_addAF, BayesDel_noAF, MutationTaster was below the threshold]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 40 of the COL6A3 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs767517186, gnomAD 0.004%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive dystonia (PMID: 26004199). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant has been reported in individual(s) with autosomal dominant myopathy (internal data); however, the role of the variant in this condition is currently unclear. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 192263). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 41, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 26004199). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
