Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_005359.6(SMAD4):​c.1051G>C​(p.Asp351His) 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. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging 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. D351V) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 25 uncertain in NM_005359.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr18-51065519-A-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 405499.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.985
• PP5: Variant 18-51065518-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-51065518-G-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 375998.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The p.D351H variant (also known as c.1051G>C), located in coding exon 8 of the SMAD4 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1051. The aspartic acid at codon 351 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been observed in at least one individual with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with SMAD4-related disease (Ambry internal data). This alteration is located in the MH2 domain and has been revealed to disrupt the interaction between SMAD proteins critical for TGFβ signaling (Shi Y et al. Nature, 1997 Jul;388:87-93; Wu JW et al. J. Biol. Chem., 2001 Jun;276:20688-94; De Bosscher K et al. Biochem. J., 2004 Apr;379:209-16; Qu H et al. Sci Rep, 2016 Sep;6:32628). In addition, a colorectal cancer cell line expressing the mutant did not respond to TGFβ in cell cycle arrest or target gene expression (De Bosscher K et al. Biochem. J., 2004 Apr;379:209-16). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
