Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 17 ACMG points: 17P and 0B. PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_001615.4(ACTG2):c.119G>A(p.Arg40His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R40C) has been classified as Pathogenic.

The p.Arg40His variant leads to a substitution of the arginine at amino acid position 40 with a histidine. This is a recurrent variant that has been reported in multiple unrelated individuals with megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) or chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction with megacystis (CIPO-M) (PMID: 26072522, PMID: 31769566, PMID: 31216405, PMID: 33294969, PMID: 34958143, PMID: 24676022). The p.Arg40His is absent from large population studies (gnomAD v2.1.1). In silico tools predict the p.Arg40His variant to be damaging. Another variant at the same amino acid position (p.Arg40Cys) has been reported in multiple affected individuals (PMID: 34958143, PMID: 24676022, PMID: 26647307). Individuals with the p.Arg40His and p.Arg40Cys variants have been found to have a less severe clinical presentation and more favorable outcome in comparison to those with other ACTG2 pathogenic variants (PMID: 26072522, PMID: 31769566). -

The c.119G>A variant in ACTG2 has previously been reported in multiple affected individuals with ACTG2-related visceral myopathy, Megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) and intestinal pseudo-obstruction [PMID: 24676022, 28422808, 29781137, 33294969, 26647307] and found be segregated with disease in affected family members [PMID: 24676022]. The c.119G>A variant has been deposited in ClinVar [ClinVar ID: 132802] as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic and the variant is absent from population databases (gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.2, TOPMed Freeze 8, All of Us), suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in those databases. The c.119G>A variant in ACTG2 is located in exon 2 of this 9-exon gene and predicted to replace an evolutionarily conserved arginine amino acid with histidine at position 40 of the encoded protein. In silico predictions are in favor of damaging effect for p.(Arg40His) [(CADD v1.6 =25.7, REVEL =0.943)]; however, there are no functional studies to support or refute these predictions. Another missense substitution p.(Arg40Cys) affecting the same protein residue have been reported in the literature [PMID: 24676022, 26647307, 29781137] and ClinVar [ClinVar ID: 132799] in individuals with ACTG2 related disorders. Additionally p.Arg40 has been reported as one of the recurrent arginine substitutions in the ACTG2 and reported to be associated with mixed phenotypic severity and favorable clinical outcome in 6/8 examined individuals [PMID: 31769566]. Based on available evidence this inherited c.119G>A, p.(Arg40His) heterozygous variant identified in ACTG2 is classified Pathogenic. -
