The recorded framework is Not recorded. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.
The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
The variant substitutes Gly115 in the collagen triple-helical domain (Gly-X-Y repeat region). Glycine residues in the collagen triple-helical domain are structurally essential for proper helix formation; glycine substitutions in this domain are a well-established pathogenic mechanism across all collagen genes, including COL4A1. This residue lies within a critical functional domain where pathogenic missense variants cluster and benign variation is extremely rare. The COL4A1/COL4A2 clinical spectrum literature (PMID:25719457) confirms a high density of pathogenic mutations in this domain.
The variant is extremely rare in population databases: gnomAD v2.1 allele frequency is 0.00177% (5/282,856 alleles, 0 homozygotes), gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency is 0.00192% (31/1,613,960 alleles, 0 homozygotes), and it is absent from gnomAD-Canada v1.0. All frequencies are well below the 0.1% PM2 threshold. The highest subpopulation frequency is 0.00310% in European (non-Finnish) in v2.1 and 0.00267% in African/African American in v4.1.
Multiple in silico predictors support a deleterious effect of this missense variant. REVEL score is 0.963 (highly pathogenic-leaning, well above the 0.5 threshold). BayesDel score is 0.571 (damaging, above the 0.5 threshold). SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta = 0.01), which is expected for a deep exonic missense variant. The combination of REVEL and BayesDel scores provides supporting evidence for pathogenicity.
No benign criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PM1 moderate, PM2 supporting, PP3 supporting; combination = 1 moderate + 2 supporting, which maps to VUS.

NM_001845.5:c.343G>A (p.Gly115Ser) is a missense variant in COL4A1 affecting a glycine residue in the collagen triple-helical Gly-X-Y repeat domain.
The variant is extremely rare in population databases: gnomAD v2.1 allele frequency is 0.00177% (5/282,856 alleles) and gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency is 0.00192% (31/1,613,960 alleles), both well below the 0.1% PM2 threshold. It is absent from gnomAD-Canada.
Gly115 lies within the collagen triple-helical domain, a critical functional domain where glycine substitutions are a well-established pathogenic mechanism across collagen genes and specifically in COL4A1-related disorders (PMID:25719457). This supports application of PM1 at moderate strength.
In silico predictors support a deleterious effect: REVEL score 0.963 (highly pathogenic-leaning) and BayesDel score 0.571 (damaging), meeting PP3 at supporting strength.
In ClinVar (ID 2158622), this variant has been reported as Uncertain significance by 5 clinical laboratories and as Likely pathogenic by 1 clinical laboratory (Labcorp Genetics). No expert panel review is available.
Exploratory evidence recovery suggests potential functional evidence of impaired collagen IV secretion (PMID:15905400) and a possible de novo observation, but these could not be independently verified from available abstracts and require human review of full-text publications.
Applying generic ACMG/AMP 2015 criteria: PM1 (moderate) + PM2 (supporting) + PP3 (supporting) = 1 moderate + 2 supporting, which does not reach the Likely Pathogenic threshold (requires ≥2 moderate OR ≥4 supporting OR 1 strong + ≥2 supporting). The classification is Variant of Uncertain Significance. Additional evidence (PS3 functional confirmation, PM6 de novo verification) could upgrade this to Likely Pathogenic.
