Genes affected

GNAQ (HGNC:4390): (G protein subunit alpha q) This locus encodes a guanine nucleotide-binding protein. The encoded protein, an alpha subunit in the Gq class, couples a seven-transmembrane domain receptor to activation of phospolipase C-beta. Mutations at this locus have been associated with problems in platelet activation and aggregation. A related pseudogene exists on chromosome 2.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a modified_residue 5-glutamyl histamine (size 0) in uniprot entity GNAQ_HUMAN
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.977
• PP5: Variant 9-77794572-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-77794572-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 375956.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

A GNAQ c.626A>G (p.Gln209Arg) variant was identified at an allelic fraction consistent with somatic origin. The GNAQ c.626A>G (p.Gln209Arg) variant has been described in numerous patients affected with Sturge-Weber syndrome, choroidal hemangioma, non-syndromic capillary malformations, and cherry angiomas (Francis JH et al., PMID: 30537484; Le Guin CHD et al., PMID: 31336681; Galeffi F et al., PMID: 35635655; Klebanov N et al., PMID: 30601876). This variant has been reported in eleven cases in the cancer database COSMIC (Genomic Mutation ID: COSV54108414) and is absent from the general population (gnomAD v.3.1.2), indicating it is not a common variant. It lies within the GTP-binding site of the ras-like domain of GNAQ, which is defined as a critical functional domain (Markby DW et al., PMID: 8266082; Van Raamsdonk CD et al., PMID: 19078957). Computational predictors indicate that the GNAQ c.626A>G (p.Gln209Arg) variant is damaging, evidence that correlates with impact on GNAQ function. In support of this prediction, functional studies show increased activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways and associated downstream transcriptional programs in microvascular endothelial cells (Galeffi F et al., PMID: 35635655). The GNAQ gene is a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common mechanism of disease. Other variants in the same codon, p.Gln209His, p.Gln209Leu and p.Gln209Pro, have been reported in multiple individuals and are considered pathogenic (Van Raamsdonk CD et al., PMID: 19078957; ClinVar IDs: 1172602, 1172601, 375955, 375957). Based on an internally-developed protocol informed by the ACMG/AMP guidelines (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), the GNAQ c.626A>G (p.Gln209Arg) variant is classified as pathogenic. -
