Genes affected
ACTA2 (HGNC:130): (actin alpha 2, smooth muscle) This gene encodes one of six different actin proteins. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility, structure, integrity, and intercellular signaling. The encoded protein is a smooth muscle actin that is involved in vascular contractility and blood pressure homeostasis. Mutations in this gene cause a variety of vascular diseases, such as thoracic aortic disease, coronary artery disease, stroke, and Moyamoya disease, as well as multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome.

STAMBPL1 (HGNC:24105): (STAM binding protein like 1) Predicted to enable Lys63-specific deubiquitinase activity and thiol-dependent deubiquitinase. Predicted to be involved in protein K63-linked deubiquitination. Located in membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Pathogenic:4
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 09, 2017The p.R118Q pathogenic mutation (also known as c.353G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the ACTA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 353. The arginine at codon 118 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported to segregate with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection in multiple families (Guo DC et al. Nat. Genet., 2007 Dec;39:1488-93; Guo DC et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2009 May;84:617-27; Bee KJ et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2012 Dec;5:621-9). Moreover, in vitro studies have suggested that this alteration would affect actin assembly (Guo DC et al. Nat. Genet., 2007 Dec;39:1488-93; Bergeron SE et al. J. Biol. Chem., 2011 Apr;286:11356-69). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthDec 23, 2020This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 118 of the ACTA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies in yeast and cultured smooth muscle cells have shown that this variant affects actin assembly or stability (PMID: 17994018, 21288906). It has been shown that this variant segregates with thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection (TAAD) in three families (PMID: 17994018, 19409525, 23099432). This variant has also been reported in 9 related individuals affected with TAAD and/or coronary artery disease (PMID: 32093627). This variant has been identified in 1/251034 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 02, 2024Variant summary: ACTA2 c.353G>A (p.Arg118Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251034 control chromosomes. c.353G>A has been reported in the literature in the heterozygous state segregating with disease in multiple individuals affected with Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms And Dissections and Early-Onset Coronary Heart Disease (example, Guo_2009, Bee_2012), with at least 1 publication suggesting incomplete penetrance. Experimental evidence in a yeast background suggests that this variant has significant impacts on actin polymerization and function (example, Bergeron_2011). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23099432, 21288906, 19409525). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 199670). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineSep 22, 2016The p.Arg118Gln variant in ACTA2 has been reported in 3 individuals with thoraci c aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD) and segregated with disease in 6 affec ted relatives from 3 families (Guo 2007, Gou 2009, Bee 2012). Furthermore, 2 add itional relatives with premature coronary artery disease also carried the varian t (Gou 2009). This variant has also been identified in 1/111342 European chromos omes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.or g; dbSNP rs112602953). Studies on cultured smooth muscle cells (SMCs) derived fr om a heterozygous carrier of this variant suggest that this variant perturbs ACT A2 filament assembly or stability (Guo 2007). In summary, this variant meets cri teria to be classified as pathogenic for familial TAAD in an autosomal dominant manner based upon segregation studies, low frequency in controls and functional evidence. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PP1_Strong, PM2, PS3_Moderate, PP4, PS4_Sup porting. -
Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 6 Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteFeb 02, 2022Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as a Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0104 - Dominant negative is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with familial thoracic aortic aneurysm 6 (MIM#611788), Moyamoya disease 5 (MIM#614042) and multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome (MIM#613834) (PMID: 27551047, 28652363). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to glutamine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.001 for a dominant condition (1 heterozygote, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated actin domain (NCBI). (I) 0710 - Another missense variant comparable to the one identified in this case has inconclusive previous evidence for pathogenicity. An alternative change to a tryptophan has been reported once as a VUS in ClinVar. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported as pathogenic in multiple individuals with familial thoracic aortic aneurysm (ClinVar, PMID: 17994018, 25759435). (SP) 1001 - This variant has strong functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. Functional study using smooth muscle cells suggested that variant perturbs ACTA2 filament assembly or stability (PMID: 17994018). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 02, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 118 of the ACTA2 protein (p.Arg118Gln). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with increased risk of coronary artery disease and/or thoracic aortic dissections (PMID: 17994018, 19409525, 21248741, 25759435). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 199670). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on ACTA2 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ACTA2 function (PMID: 21288906). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
