Genes affected

COL3A1 (HGNC:2201): (collagen type III alpha 1 chain) This gene encodes the pro-alpha1 chains of type III collagen, a fibrillar collagen that is found in extensible connective tissues such as skin, lung, uterus, intestine and the vascular system, frequently in association with type I collagen. Mutations in this gene are associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV, and with aortic and arterial aneurysms. [provided by R. Dalgleish, Feb 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Dec 25, 2016	Variant summary: c.528+5G>A in COL3A1 gene is an intronic change that involves a highly conserved nucleotide. 5/5 programs in Alamut predict that this variant eliminates the donor splice site, however no functional studies supporting this notion were published at the time of evaluation. The variant is absent from control population dataset of ExAC. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals in published reports but is cited as VUS by a reputable database/clinical laboratory. Considering all, due to the lack of sufficient clinical information on carriers and absence of functional studies the variant has been currently classified as a variant of uncertain significance until additional information becomes available. -

The c.528+5G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution 5 nucleotides after coding exon 5 in the COL3A1 gene. This alteration has been reported in a vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome testing cohort, as well as additional individuals with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with COL3A1-related disease (Henneton P et al. Circ Genom Precis Med, 2019 03;12:e001996; Ambry internal data; external communication). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. 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: 263523). This variant has been observed in individuals with clinical features of vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (PMID: 30999998; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 5 of the COL3A1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the COL3A1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
