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]

Submissions by phenotype

Juvenile polyposis/hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia syndrome Pathogenic:1

Aug 23, 2024

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the SMAD4 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with SMAD4-related disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of SMAD4 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Juvenile polyposis syndrome Pathogenic:1

Mar 22, 2018

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in SMAD4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16152648, 16436638, 22810475). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with SMAD4-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln442*) in the SMAD4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
