NM_003242.6:c.1483C>T
Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_003242.6(TGFBR2):c.1483C>T(p.Arg495*) variant causes a stop gained change. 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 Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R495R) has been classified as Likely benign.

Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Pathogenic:2
The p.R495* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1483C>T), located in coding exon 6 of the TGFBR2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1483. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 6. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theTGFBR2 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 12.8% of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). This alteration has been reported in several individuals and families with a diagnosis of Loeys-Dietz syndrome (Loeys et al. N Engl J Med. 2006;355(8):788-98; Togashi et al. Intern Med. 2007;46(24):1995-2000; Yang et al. J Hum Genet. 2012;57:52-6). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg495*) in the TGFBR2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 73 amino acid(s) of the TGFBR2 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Loeys-Dietz syndrome (PMID: 16928994, 17652900, 18084123, 22113417). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12519). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Loeys-Dietz syndrome Pathogenic:2
Variant summary: TGFBR2 c.1483C>T (p.Arg495X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 245910 control chromosomes. The c.1483C>T variant has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Loeys-Dietz Syndrome, including segregation with disease in a family (Togashi_2007). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, where an increase in intracellular collagen was observed in patient fibroblasts (Barnett_2011). Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, each of which classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
