Comment on list classification: Associated with relevant phenotype in OMIM and as confirmed Gen2Phen gene. Numerous variants reported as biallelic in Muscular dystrophy, congenital, merosin deficient or partially deficient OMIM:607855, with over three cases exhibiting occipital agyria / polymicrogyria.Created: 19 Jan 2021, 2:34 p.m. | Last Modified: 19 Jan 2021, 2:34 p.m.

Variants in this GENE are reported as part of current diagnostic practice
Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics)
Malformations of cortical development are seen in a small proportion of individuals with biallelic LAMA2 variants. These were initially described and characterised based on immunohistochemistry showing loss of the protein associated with LAMA2. Reports where genotyping has been performed include: PMID: 20207543 – 7 individuals with biallelic LAMA2 variants and occipital agyria / polymicrogyria with a further 2 individuals with cortical folding abnormalities in other sites. PMID: 18406646 – 1 individual with a homozygous nonsense LAMA2 variant with extensive bilateral occipital polymicrogyria.
