Genes affected
ACVRL1 (HGNC:175): (activin A receptor like type 1) This gene encodes a type I cell-surface receptor for the TGF-beta superfamily of ligands. It shares with other type I receptors a high degree of similarity in serine-threonine kinase subdomains, a glycine- and serine-rich region (called the GS domain) preceding the kinase domain, and a short C-terminal tail. The encoded protein, sometimes termed ALK1, shares similar domain structures with other closely related ALK or activin receptor-like kinase proteins that form a subfamily of receptor serine/threonine kinases. Mutations in this gene are associated with hemorrhagic telangiectasia type 2, also known as Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The ACVRL1 c.1135G>A; p.Glu379Lys variant (rs1131691686) has been reported in multiple unrelated individuals diagnosed with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Brakensiek 2008, Fontalba 2008, Kuehl 2005, Lenato 2006, Lesca 2004, Nishida 2012). In functional assays, this variant exhibits a decreased BMP9 response and inability to properly localize to the cell surface (Alaa El Din 2015). This variant is reported in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 429940), and it is found on only two chromosomes (2/251236 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The glutamic acid at codon 379 is a highly conserved residue in the protein kinase domain, computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.969). Based on the above information, this variant is considered pathogenic. References: Alaa El Din F et al.

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 379 of the ACVRL1 protein (p.Glu379Lys). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (PMID: 15024723, 15712270, 16429404, 18498373, 22991266, 24603890). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429940). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ACVRL1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ACVRL1 function (PMID: 26176610). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Published functional studies suggest that p.(E379K) has a negative impact on ACVRL1 receptor activity and protein maturation (PMID: 26176610); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 18498373, 15879500, 15266205, 22991266, 18673552, 17384219, 15712270, 15521985, 15024723, 26176610, 30578397, 32503579, 32300199, 16429404, 23535011, 34966542, 24603890) -

The p.Glu379Lys variant in ACVRL1 has been reported in >5 individuals with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT; Lesca 2004 PMID: 15024723, Kuehl 2005 PMID: 15712270, Lenato 2006 PMID: 16429404). It has also been identified in 0.001% (1/69794) of South Asian chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) and has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 429940). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses support that this variant may impact the protein. In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that this variant impacts protein function (Alaa El Din 2015 PMID: 26176610); however, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. Additionally, the number of ACVRL1 missense variants in the general population is lower than expected (Z=3.18, https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/gene/ENSG00000139567), providing some evidence that this variant may not be tolerated. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant HHT. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4, PP2, PP3, PM2_supporting, PS3_supporting. -

The p.E379K pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1135G>A), located in coding exon 7 of the ACVRL1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1135. The glutamic acid at codon 379 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and pulmonary arterial hypertension, and segregated with disease in at least one family (Lesca G et al. Hum. Mutat., 2004 Apr;23:289-99; Lenato GM et al. Hum. Mutat., 2006 Feb;27:213-4; Wang XJ et al. Eur Respir J, 2019 03;53; Zhao Y et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2019 09;7:e893). In an assay testing ACVRL1 function, this variant showed a functionally abnormal result (Alaa El Din F et al. PLoS ONE, 2015 Jul;10:e0132111). 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. -
