Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Uncertain:2Benign:1
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

This variant, c.73_78dup, results in the insertion of 2 amino acid(s) of the TGFBR1 protein (p.Ala25_Ala26dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TGFBR1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 496264). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: The TGFBR1 c.73_78dupGCGGCG (p.Ala25_Ala26dup) variant involves the duplication of six nucleotides in a repetitive region. One in silico tools predicts a deleterious outcome for this variant. The frequency of this variant in population databases is not available due to lack of coverage or very low coverage of the chromosomal region. This variant was reported to be found in 1/2436 control chromosomes in the literature at a frequency of 0.0004105, which is approximately 263 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic TGFBR1 variant (0.0000016), suggesting this variant is possibly a benign polymorphism, although the allele number is very low. This variant has been reported in a sporadic BrC patient without evidence of causality. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via reputable databases/clinical diagnostic laboratories; nor evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Taken together, this variant is classified as VUS-possibly benign until more evidence becomes available. -
