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]

Variant summary: The c.1218G>A (p.Ala406=) in SMAD4 gene is a synonymous change that involves a non-conserved nucleotide. 3/5 programs in Alamut predict that this variant may have some mild effect normal splicing, however no functional studies supporting this notion were published at the time of evaluation. The variant is present in the control population datasets of ExAC and gnomAD at a similar frequencies 0.000036 (4/121400 and 10/ 277190 chrs tested, respectively). However, the possibility of the variant to be derived from pseudogene cannot be completely ruled out. The variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via published reports but is cited as Benign/Likely Benign by reputable databases/clinical laboratories. Taking together, the variant was classified as Benign. -
