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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• 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, 0.909

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.C16Y variant (also known as c.47G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the SMAD4 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 47. The cysteine at codon 16 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine with tyrosine at codon 16 of the SMAD4 protein (p.Cys16Tyr). The cysteine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and tyrosine. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with SMAD4-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). 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. -
