Genes affected

SMAD4 (HGNC:6770): (SMAD family member 4) This gene encodes a member of the Smad family of signal transduction proteins. Smad proteins are phosphorylated and activated by transmembrane serine-threonine receptor kinases in response to transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta signaling. The product of this gene forms homomeric complexes and heteromeric complexes with other activated Smad proteins, which then accumulate in the nucleus and regulate the transcription of target genes. This protein binds to DNA and recognizes an 8-bp palindromic sequence (GTCTAGAC) called the Smad-binding element (SBE). The protein acts as a tumor suppressor and inhibits epithelial cell proliferation. It may also have an inhibitory effect on tumors by reducing angiogenesis and increasing blood vessel hyperpermeability. The encoded protein is a crucial component of the bone morphogenetic protein signaling pathway. The Smad proteins are subject to complex regulation by post-translational modifications. Mutations or deletions in this gene have been shown to result in pancreatic cancer, juvenile polyposis syndrome, and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain MH2 (size 229) in uniprot entity SMAD4_HUMAN there are 40 pathogenic changes around while only 2 benign (95%) in NM_005359.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the SMAD4 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 36 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 52 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.1308 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.9346 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, generalized juvenile polyposis/juvenile polyposis coli, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, Myhre syndrome, pulmonary arterial hypertension, juvenile polyposis/hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia syndrome, juvenile polyposis syndrome.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.88

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as VUS-3A. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease, whilst dominant negative and gain of function are likely mechanisms of disease in this gene. Premature termination variants resulting in a loss of function are associated with juvenile intestinal polyposis (MIM#174900) and juvenile polyposis/hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia syndrome (MIM#175050) (OMIM). Functional analysis on missense variants shows both gain of function and dominant negative effects at the same residue (PMIDs: 22158539, 36194927) and are associated with Myhre syndrome (MIM#139210). (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 leucine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0603 - Missense variant in a region that is highly intolerant to missense variation (high constraint region in DECIPHER). (SP) 0710 - Other missense variants comparable to the one identified in this case have inconclusive previous evidence for pathogenicity. Two alternative changes, p.(Arg420His) and p.(Arg420Cys), have been classified as VUS in ClinVar. (I) 0807 - This variant has no previous evidence of pathogenicity. (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1203 - This variant has been shown to be de novo in the proband (parental status confirmed) (by trio analysis). (SP) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
