Genes affected

COL2A1 (HGNC:2200): (collagen type II alpha 1 chain) This gene encodes the alpha-1 chain of type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen found in cartilage and the vitreous humor of the eye. Mutations in this gene are associated with achondrogenesis, chondrodysplasia, early onset familial osteoarthritis, SED congenita, Langer-Saldino achondrogenesis, Kniest dysplasia, Stickler syndrome type I, and spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia Strudwick type. In addition, defects in processing chondrocalcin, a calcium binding protein that is the C-propeptide of this collagen molecule, are also associated with chondrodysplasia. There are two transcripts identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Feb 03, 2022	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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 194199). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Stickler syndrome (PMID: 20179744). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 13 of the COL2A1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the COL2A1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -

The COL2A1 c.870+5G>A variant is predicted to interfere with splicing. This variant is predicted to decrease the strength of the canonical splice donor site (Alamut Visual Plus v1.61). This variant was reported in an individual with Stickler syndrome (Hoornaert. 2010. PubMed ID: 20179744) and in a cohort of individuals with hearing loss (c.663+5G>A in Table S3, Azaiez. 2018. PubMed ID: 30245029). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
