Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories | Feb 15, 2023 | The ACTA2 c.115C>T; p.Arg39Cys variant (rs112901682) is reported in multiple individuals with thoracic aortic disorders and shown to segregate with disease in affected family members (Campens 2015, Hoffjan 2011, Kaw 2022, Li 2021, Overwater 2018). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 65449). This variant is only found on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.853). Additionally, other variants at this codon (p.Arg39Gly, p.Arg39His) are reported in individuals with aortic aneurysm and dissection and are considered to be causative (Hoffjan 2011, Overwater 2018, Regalado 2015). Based on available information, the p.Arg39Cys variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Campens L et al.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Jan 29, 2024 | The p.R39C variant (also known as c.115C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the ACTA2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 115. The arginine at codon 39 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant has been reported in individuals with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD), and co-segregation in affected relatives was reported in two unrelated families (Hoffjan S et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2011 May;19:520-4; Renard M et al. Int. J. Cardiol., 2013 May;165:314-21; Regalado ES et al. Am. J. Med. Genet. A, 2014 Jan;164A:106-12; Overwater E et al. Hum. Mutat., 2018 09;39:1173-1192). Alternate amino acid substitutions at this position, p.R39H and p.R39G, have also been associated with TAAD and vascular disease findings (Guo DC et al. Am J Hum Genet. 2009;84(5):617-27; Regalado ES et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet. 2015;8(3):457-64). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) (Lek M et al. Nature, 2016 08;536:285-91). 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 supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. - |

Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 6 Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Invitae | Oct 18, 2023 | This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 39 of the ACTA2 protein (p.Arg39Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs112901682, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with aortopathy (PMID: 21248741, 21733706, 21937134, 24243736, 25644172, 25759435). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 65449). 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. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |
