LAMB3 NM_000228.2 exon 14 p.Arg635* (c.1903C>T): This variant has been reported in the literature in several individuals with epidermolysis bullosa in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state, including an entry in GeneReviews. Literature suggests that this variant is one of the most common pathogenic variants in this gene (Pulkkinen 1994 PMID:7698759, Kivirikko 1996 PMID:8824879, Varki 2006 PMID:16473856, Pfendner 2014 PMID:20301304). This variant is present in 0.1% (133/129106) of European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-209799066-G-A). Please note, disease causing variants may be present in control databases at low frequencies, reflective of the general population, autosomal recessive inheritance carrier status, and/or variable expressivity. This variant is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as pathogenic (Variation ID:14539). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are limited or unavailable. In vitro functional studies also support that this variant will impact the protein (Pulkkinen 1994 PMID:7698759). This variant creates a premature stop at this codon which results in an absent or abnormal protein. Loss of function variants are a known mechanism of disease for this gene (Varki 2006 PMID:16473856). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic. (less)

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg635*) in the LAMB3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LAMB3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11023379, 16473856). This variant is present in population databases (rs80356682, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive epidermolysis bullosa (PMID: 7698759, 11689492, 15311214, 15663509, 27062385, 28830826). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14539). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. (less)

Variant summary: The LAMB3 c.1903C>T (p.Arg635X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent LAMB3 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 92/121034 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the European (Non-Finnish) subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0013392 (89/66456). This variant has been reported in numerous JEB patients both as homozygotes and compound heterozygotes. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. (less)

The LAMB3 c.1903C>T (p.Arg635Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant that is predicted to result in a premature termination of the protein. The p.Arg635Ter variant occurs in a region of the gene described as a mutational hotspot (Kivirikko et al. 1996; Pulkkinen et al. 1997). Nanako et al. (2000) noted that the p.Arg635Ter variant was present in 45.4% of disease-associated LAMB3 alleles in a review of a database of junctional epidermolysis bullosa(JEB) variants. Across a selection of the available literature, the p.Arg635Ter variant has been identified in 14 probands in a homozygous state and in 20 probands in a compound heterozygous state, most often associated with the severe Herlitz phenotype (Pulkkinen et al. 1994; Kivirikko et al. 1996; Pulkkinen et al. 1997; Nakano et al. 2000; Cserhalmi-Friedman et al. 2001; Gache et al. 2001; Hauschild et al. 2001). Segregation of the variant with the disease was shown in two studies (Pulkkinen et al. 1994; Gache et al. 2001). The p.Arg635Ter variant is reported at a frequency of 0.00134 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Based on the collective evidence and the potential impact of stop-gained variants, the p.Arg635Ter variant is classified as pathogenic for junctional epidermolysis bullosa. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. (less)

The stop gained p.R635* in LAMB3 (NM_000228.3) have been reported previously in multiple patients associated with severe Herlitz phenotype (Nakano et al 2000; Cserhalmi-Friedman et al 2001). The variant has been reported to ClinVar as Pathogenic. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. The p.R635* variant is a loss of function variant in the gene LAMB3, which is intolerant of Loss of Function variants, as indicated by the presence of existing pathogenic loss of function variant NP_000219.2:p.L11Pfs*43 and 47 others. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. (less)

Severe Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa 1B In an infant with the Herlitz form of junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB1B; 226700), Pulkkinen et al. (1994) identified a homozygous C-to-T transition in the LAMB3 gene, resulting in an arg635-to-ter (R635X) substitution. Ultrastructural and immunofluorescence antigenic mapping studies demonstrated tissue separation within or just above the level of the lamina lucida. Northern hybridization of keratinocyte mRNA revealed markedly reduced levels of the laminin beta-3 chain mRNA. Both unaffected parents were shown to be heterozygous carriers. Ashton et al. (1997) assessed the frequency of the R635X mutation in 12 British patients with lethal (Herlitz) junctional EB using PCR amplification of genomic DNA and restriction endonuclease digestion. R635X was found in 7 of 24 (29%) mutant alleles, confirming its relative frequency within the British gene pool. In addition, haplotype analysis using intragenic polymorphisms showed that the mutation arose on at least 4 different haplotype backgrounds, suggesting that it represents a mutation hotspot rather than propagation of a common British ancestral allele. These findings supported the hypermutable nature of this CpG dinucleotide. In studies of a European cohort of 14 families with the lethal Herlitz type of junctional EB, Pulkkinen et al. (1997) found the R635X mutation in the homozygous state in 4 of the probands and in the heterozygous state in 6 of the probands. In all, LAMB3 mutations accounted for 22 (79%) of 28 junctional EB alleles, and 14 (64%) of 22 LAMB3 alleles harbored the R635X mutation. In a study of 12 patients with Herlitz junctional EB, Muhle et al. (2005) observed that the 4 patients who survived longer than 6 months were females who were homozygous for R635X. In these 4 patients, disease progression as quantified by the percentage of affected body surface occurred relatively slowly during the first months of life, and they had better initial development and weight gain. However, they all died between 7.5 and 30 months of age. The 1 male patient who was also homozygous for R635X presented with a large skin defect at birth and remained hospitalized because of severe chronic wound infections and failure to thrive until his death at 5 months of age. Muhle et al. (2005) concluded that modifying factors may lead to significant variability in the clinical course of the disease and that other diagnostic means such as immunofluorescence and mRNA analysis should be taken into account when assessing the prognosis of an individual patient. Intermediate Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa 1A In 2 sibs with nonlethal JEB (JEB1A; 226650), Pulkkinen and Uitto (1998) detected compound heterozygosity for premature termination mutations in LAMB3, the recurrent R235X mutation on the maternal allele and a 5-basepair deletion (1438del5; 150310.0010) on the paternal allele. The 1438del5 mutation resulted in a premature termination codon 164 nucleotides downstream from the deletion in exon 14. This report represented the first exception to the general rule that mutations leading to premature termination codons on both alleles result in Herlitz (lethal) JEB, whereas in nonlethal variants at least one allele has a missense or in-frame exon skip mutation. Floeth and Bruckner-Tuderman (1999) described a family with severe nonlethal junctional EB (JEB1A) who had mutations in both the LAMB3 and type XVII collagen (COL17A1; 113811) genes. The index patient was compound heterozygous for 2 mutations in the COL17A1 gene, L855X (113811.0012) and R1226X (113811.0001), and was heterozygous for the R635X mutation in the LAMB3 gene. As a consequence, 2 functionally related proteins were affected. Absence of collagen XVII and attenuated laminin-5 expression resulted in rudimentary hemidesmosome structure and separation of the epidermis from the basement membrane, with severe skin blistering as the clinical manifestation. In contrast, single heterozygotes in this family carrying either (1) one or the other of the COL17A1 null alleles or (2) a double heterozygote for a COL17A1 and a LAMB3 null allele did not have a pathologic skin phenotype. These observations indicated that the known allelic heterogeneity in junctional EB is further complicated by interactions between unlinked mutations. They also demonstrated that identification of 1 mutation in 1 gene is not sufficient for determination of the genetic basis of junctional EB in a given family. (less)

Severe Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa 1B In an infant with the Herlitz form of junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB1B; 226700), Pulkkinen et al. (1994) identified a homozygous C-to-T transition in the LAMB3 gene, resulting in an arg635-to-ter (R635X) substitution. Ultrastructural and immunofluorescence antigenic mapping studies demonstrated tissue separation within or just above the level of the lamina lucida. Northern hybridization of keratinocyte mRNA revealed markedly reduced levels of the laminin beta-3 chain mRNA. Both unaffected parents were shown to be heterozygous carriers. Ashton et al. (1997) assessed the frequency of the R635X mutation in 12 British patients with lethal (Herlitz) junctional EB using PCR amplification of genomic DNA and restriction endonuclease digestion. R635X was found in 7 of 24 (29%) mutant alleles, confirming its relative frequency within the British gene pool. In addition, haplotype analysis using intragenic polymorphisms showed that the mutation arose on at least 4 different haplotype backgrounds, suggesting that it represents a mutation hotspot rather than propagation of a common British ancestral allele. These findings supported the hypermutable nature of this CpG dinucleotide. In studies of a European cohort of 14 families with the lethal Herlitz type of junctional EB, Pulkkinen et al. (1997) found the R635X mutation in the homozygous state in 4 of the probands and in the heterozygous state in 6 of the probands. In all, LAMB3 mutations accounted for 22 (79%) of 28 junctional EB alleles, and 14 (64%) of 22 LAMB3 alleles harbored the R635X mutation. In a study of 12 patients with Herlitz junctional EB, Muhle et al. (2005) observed that the 4 patients who survived longer than 6 months were females who were homozygous for R635X. In these 4 patients, disease progression as quantified by the percentage of affected body surface occurred relatively slowly during the first months of life, and they had better initial development and weight gain. However, they all died between 7.5 and 30 months of age. The 1 male patient who was also homozygous for R635X presented with a large skin defect at birth and remained hospitalized because of severe chronic wound infections and failure to thrive until his death at 5 months of age. Muhle et al. (2005) concluded that modifying factors may lead to significant variability in the clinical course of the disease and that other diagnostic means such as immunofluorescence and mRNA analysis should be taken into account when assessing the prognosis of an individual patient. Intermediate Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa 1A In 2 sibs with nonlethal JEB (JEB1A; 226650), Pulkkinen and Uitto (1998) detected compound heterozygosity for premature termination mutations in LAMB3, the recurrent R235X mutation on the maternal allele and a 5-basepair deletion (1438del5; 150310.0010) on the paternal allele. The 1438del5 mutation resulted in a premature termination codon 164 nucleotides downstream from the deletion in exon 14. This report represented the first exception to the general rule that mutations leading to premature termination codons on both alleles result in Herlitz (lethal) JEB, whereas in nonlethal variants at least one allele has a missense or in-frame exon skip mutation. Floeth and Bruckner-Tuderman (1999) described a family with severe nonlethal junctional EB (JEB1A) who had mutations in both the LAMB3 and type XVII collagen (COL17A1; 113811) genes. The index patient was compound heterozygous for 2 mutations in the COL17A1 gene, L855X (113811.0012) and R1226X (113811.0001), and was heterozygous for the R635X mutation in the LAMB3 gene. As a consequence, 2 functionally related proteins were affected. Absence of collagen XVII and attenuated laminin-5 expression resulted in rudimentary hemidesmosome structure and separation of the epidermis from the basement membrane, with severe skin blistering as the clinical manifestation. In contrast, single heterozygotes in this family carrying either (1) one or the other of the COL17A1 null alleles or (2) a double heterozygote for a COL17A1 and a LAMB3 null allele did not have a pathologic skin phenotype. These observations indicated that the known allelic heterogeneity in junctional EB is further complicated by interactions between unlinked mutations. They also demonstrated that identification of 1 mutation in 1 gene is not sufficient for determination of the genetic basis of junctional EB in a given family. (less)

The LAMB3 c.1903C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg635*). This variant has been reported, in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state, in individuals affected with Herlitz type of junctional epidermolysis bullosa (see for example, Kivirikko et al. 1996. PubMed ID: 8824879; Pulkkinen et al. 1997. PubMed ID: 9242513; Christiano et al. 1997. PubMed ID: 9160387; Yuen et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21801158). It is considered one of the most common causative variants for junctional epidermolysis bullosa (Varki et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16473856). This variant is reported in 0.10% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD, and it is interpreted as pathogenic in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/14539/). Nonsense variants in LAMB3 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. (less)
