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 recessive Alport syndrome Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionJan 03, 2022This inframe deletion in the non-repeat region can change the length of the protein and disrupt protein function (PM4_M). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least 2 similarly affected unrelated individuals(PMID: 28570636, 23927549, 22887978, PM3_S). Functional studies provide moderate evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product(PMID: 28570636, PS3_M). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000192299).It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000140, PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 06, 2019Variant summary: COL4A3 c.40_63del24 (p.Leu14_Leu21del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove eight amino acids from the COL4A3 signal peptide sequence of the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00022 in 125078 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in COL4A3 causing autosomal recessive Alport Syndrome (0.00022 vs 0.002), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.40_63del24 has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with autosomal recessive Alport Syndrome worldwide (Zhang_2012, Oka_2014, Webb_2014, Chiereghin_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in a disruption of COL4A3 signal peptide, possibly altering protein secretion (Chiereghin_2017). No other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 02, 2023This variant, c.40_63del, results in the deletion of 8 amino acid(s) of the COL4A3 protein (p.Leu14_Leu21del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs774798108, gnomAD 0.1%). This variant has been observed in individuals with Alport syndrome (PMID: 23927549, 28570636). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 192299). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects COL4A3 function (PMID: 28570636). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 23, 2022Published with a carrier frequency within the Ashkenazi Jewish population of 1 in 183, and may be a founder variant for Alport syndrome in this population (Webb et al., 2014); Published in vitro studies demonstrate that the deletion alters the COL4A3 signal peptide and changes the subcellular protein localization; variant results in diffuse localization in the cytoplasm and nucleus (Chiereghin et al., 2017); In-frame deletion of 8 amino acids in a non-repeat region; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33772369, 12028435, 14582039, 22887978, 23927549, 28570636, 24633401, 29801666) -
COL4A3-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesOct 10, 2023The COL4A3 c.40_63del24 variant is predicted to result in an in-frame deletion (p.Leu14_Leu21del). This variant has been reported to be pathogenic for Alport syndrome (AS) (in the homozygous state), and microhematuria/mild proteinuria (in the heterozygous state) (Webb et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 23927549; Longo et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 12028435; Chiereghin et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28570636). In particular, this deletion was reported to be a pathogenic founder variant in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. This variant is reported in 0.13% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-228029471-AGGTGCTCCTGCTGCCGCTCCTGCT-A). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
