Function
Binding to cells via a high affinity receptor, laminin is thought to mediate the attachment, migration and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. Laminin-5 is thought to be involved in (1) cell adhesion via integrin alpha-3/beta-1 in focal adhesion and integrin alpha-6/beta-4 in hemidesmosomes, (2) signal transduction via tyrosine phosphorylation of pp125-FAK and p80, (3) differentiation of keratinocytes.

Haploinsufficiency (HI) Score Details

HI Score:
30
HI Evidence Strength:
Gene Associated with Autosomal Recessive Phenotype (Disclaimer)
HI Disease:
  • junctional epidermolysis bullosa Monarch
HI Evidence Comments:
Biallelic variants in the LAMA3 gene have been associated with the diseases Laryngoonychocutaneous syndrome, Epidermolysis bullosa, junctional, Herlitz type, and Epidermolysis bullosa, generalized atrophic benign in OMIM. These diseases have significant phenotypic overlap so a more general MONDO term, junctional epidermolysis bullosa (MONDO:0017612), has been selected for this curation.
