Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 7P and 4B. PM5PP2PP3_StrongBS2
The NM_001613.4(ACTA2):c.446G>A(p.Arg149His) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000496 in 1,611,380 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R149L) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Uncertain:2
The p.R149H variant (also known as c.446G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the ACTA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 446. The arginine at codon 149 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in individuals with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) (Chen ZR et al. J Thorac Dis, 2021 Jul;13:4008-4022). Another alteration affecting this amino acid (p.R149C, c.445C>T) has been reported in association with TAAD, livedo reticularis and iris flocculi (Guo DC et al. Nat Genet. 2007;39:1488-93). This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek M et al. Nature. 2016 Aug 18;536(7616):285-91; DECIPHER: Database of Chromosomal Imbalance and Phenotype in Humans using Ensembl Resources. Firth H.V. et al. 2009. Am.J.Hum.Genet. 84, 524-533 (DOI: dx.doi.org/10/1016/j.ajhg.2009.03.010)). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. 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. -

Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 6 Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 149 of the ACTA2 protein (p.Arg149His). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individuals with aortic dissection (PMID: 34422331; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 519580). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt ACTA2 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg149 amino acid residue in ACTA2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17994018, 24020716, 25644172). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -
