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]

Significance: Likely benign
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The synonymous variant NM_005359.6(SMAD4):c.852A>G (p.Gln284=) has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The p.Gln284= variant is predicted to introduce a novel acceptor splice site at this position by 3 of 4 splice site algorithms, but it's impact on the gene product is unknown. The nucleotide c.852 in SMAD4 is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Benign -

Variant summary: The SMAD4 c.852A>G (p.Gln284Gln) variant causes a synonymous change involving a conserved nucleotide with 4/5 splice prediction tools predicting an impact on splicing and ESE finder predicts that this variant may affect ESE binding, although these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 5/121408 (1/24283), predominantly in the European (Non-Finnish) cohort, 5/66740 (1/13347), which does exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic SMAD4 variant of 1/500000. Therefore, suggesting the variant could be a common polymorphism found in population(s) of European (Non-Finnish) origin, however, this observation needs to be cautiously considered due to presence of a pseudogene possibly being captured. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications. However, clinical diagnostic laboratories have cited the variant with conflicting classifications "likely benign" or "uncertain significance." Therefore, the variant of interest has been classified as "Likely Benign," until additional information becomes available (ie, clinical and/or functional studies). -
