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.

Autosomal dominant Alport syndrome

Pathogenic:1Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Centre for Mendelian Genomics, University Medical Centre Ljubljana	Nov 07, 2018	This variant was classified as: Uncertain significance. The available evidence favors the pathogenic nature of this variant, however the currently available data is insufficient to conclusively support its pathogenic nature. Thus this variant is classified as Uncertain significance - favor pathogenic. The following ACMG criteria were applied in classifying this variant: PM2,PP3,PP4. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	3billion	Feb 23, 2023	The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: <0.001%). In silico tools predict the variant to alter splicing and produce an abnormal transcript (SpliceAI: 0.90). The variant has been reported to be associated with COL4A3 -related Alport syndrome (PMID: 34120753). However, the evidence of pathogenicity is insufficient at this time. Therefore, this variant is classified as VUS according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jan 29, 2024	Reported in multiple patients with COL4A3-related renal disease in published literature (PMID: 34120753, 34746741); Non-canonical splice site variant within a critical functional domain, the triple helical region; alters the last nucleotide of the exon and is predicted to damage the splice donor site but the effect on protein function is unclear; Published in vitro functional studies suggest a deleterious effect on splicing, concordant with RNA testing performed at GeneDx (PMID: 35386907); Internal targeted RNA studies in blood from a different patient referred for testing at GeneDx demonstrate this variant causes abnormal RNA splicing by damaging the natural splice donor site in intron 13 and causing the skipping of exon 13, which is predicted to result in the in-frame deletion of 26 amino acids encoding a portion of a critical functional domain (triple helical domain); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 35386907, 34746741, 35121647, 38188341, 34120753) -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Nov 17, 2023	This sequence change affects codon 255 of the COL4A3 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the COL4A3 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Alport syndrome (PMID: 35386907). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 266006). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of 13, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 35386907). 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. -
