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]

The SMAD4 c.1106A>G (p.Asn369Ser) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28944238 (2017)) or with a Lynch syndrome associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754 (2015)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00012 (3/24966 chromosomes in African/African American subpopulation (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces asparagine with serine at codon 369 of the SMAD4 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754) or colorectal cancer (PMID: 28944238). This variant has been identified in 8/282794 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: SMAD4 c.1106A>G (p.Asn369Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the SMAD domain, Dwarfin-type of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 251392 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1106A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals undergoing genetic testing for Lynch syndrome and hereditary gastrointestinal cancers (Yurgelun_2015, Ashktorab_2017, Ricci_2019) and has been reported in one individual with Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms And Dissections (Li_2021), without strong evidence for cauasality. In the patients being tested for hereditary cancer, co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (RAD51C c.890_899del; MLH1 c.1852_1854delAAG), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28002797, 33824467, 31068090, 25980754). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142165). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
