Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM2PP2PP3_StrongPP5
The NM_001613.4(ACTA2):c.554G>A(p.Arg185Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000124 in 1,611,806 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R185G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 6 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Invitae | Aug 25, 2023 | This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 185 of the ACTA2 protein (p.Arg185Gln). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 381615). This missense change has been observed in individuals with ACTA2-related conditions (PMID: 19409525, 25759435; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). - |
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Apr 12, 2017 | A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the ACTA2 gene. The R185Q variant has been reported in at least two families in association with TAAD (Guo et al., 2009, Regalado et al., 2015). Guo et al. (2009) described one Hispanic family with seven individuals who harbored the R185Q variant, however, only two were diagnosed with TAAD and three were found to have early-onset coronary artery disease. In a subsequent study by the same group, Regalado et al. (2015) reviewed outcome data from 277 patients from 81 families with ACTA2 variants, including nine individuals from two families who harbored the R185Q variant. Using regression analysis, this study found that R185Q was associated with a significantly lower risk for aortic events compared to other ACTA2 variants (Regalado et al., 2015). Additionally, R185Q has been observed in two other individuals referred for Marfan/TAAD genetic testing at GeneDx, however, both individuals harbored a second variant in a different gene and informative segregation data is not available. Furthermore, in addition to limited segregation data, there are no published functional studies of the R185Q variant to clarify the role of this variant in disease. Nevertheless, the R185Q variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The R185Q variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. Finally, this substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is pathogenic or benign. - |
