- We recently reported a severe deficiency in collagen type VI, resulting from recessive mutations of the COL6A2 gene, in patients with Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy. Their parents, who are all carriers of one mutant allele, are unaffected, although heterozygous mutations in collagen VI caused Bethlem myopathy. Here we investigated the consequences of three COL6A2 mutations in fibroblasts from patients and their parents in two Ullrich families. All three mutations lead to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, very low levels of undegraded mutant mRNA remained in patient B with compound heterozygous mutations at the distal part of the triple-helical domain, resulting in deposition of abnormal microfibrils that cannot form extensive networks. This observation suggests that the C- terminal globular domain is not essential for triple-helix formation but is critical for microfibrillar assembly. In all parents, the COL6A2 mRNA levels are reduced to 57-73% of the control, but long term collagen VI matrix depositions are comparable with that of the control. The almost complete absence of abnormal protein and near-normal accumulation of microfibrils in the parents may account for their lack of myopathic symptoms (literal)

- Abstract
- We recently reported a severe deficiency in collagen type VI, resulting
from recessive mutations of the COL6A2 gene, in patients with Ullrich
congenital muscular dystrophy. Their parents, who are all carriers of one
mutant allele, are unaffected, although heterozygous mutations in collagen
VI caused Bethlem myopathy. Here we investigated the consequences of three
COL6A2 mutations in fibroblasts from patients and their parents in two
Ullrich families. All three mutations lead to nonsense-mediated mRNA
decay. However, very low levels of undegraded mutant mRNA remained in
patient B with compound heterozygous mutations at the distal part of the
triple-helical domain, resulting in deposition of abnormal microfibrils
that cannot form extensive networks. This observation suggests that the C-
terminal globular domain is not essential for triple-helix formation but
is critical for microfibrillar assembly. In all parents, the COL6A2 mRNA
levels are reduced to 57-73% of the control, but long term collagen VI
matrix depositions are comparable with that of the control. The almost
complete absence of abnormal protein and near-normal accumulation of
microfibrils in the parents may account for their lack of myopathic
symptoms. (literal)
