Description
The G2083V variant in the COL6A3 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The G2083V variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species, affecting a Glycine residue of the triple-helical region containing Gly-X-Y repeats. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Missense variants in nearby residues (G2080C, G2080D) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with COL6A3-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. However, the G2083V variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. The G2083V variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant. However, the possibility it may be a rare benign variant cannot be excluded.
