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 Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the COL3A1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 495 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 19 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.0879 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.5995 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, vascular type, autosomal dominant Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, vascular type, polymicrogyria with or without vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.995
• PP5: Variant 2-189004276-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-189004276-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 236994.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Occurs in the triple helical domain and replaces the glycine in the canonical Gly-X-Y repeat; missense substitution of a canonical glycine residue is expected to disrupt normal protein folding and function, and this is an established mechanism of disease (HGMD); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. This variant disrupts the triple helix domain of COL3A1. Glycine residues within the Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeats of the triple helix domain are required for the structure and stability of fibrillar collagens (PMID: 7695699, 8218237, 19344236). In COL3A1, variants that affect these glycine residues are significantly enriched in individuals with disease (PMID: 24922459, 25758994) compared to the general population (ExAC). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt COL3A1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 236994). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with COL3A1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 948 of the COL3A1 protein (p.Gly948Glu). -
