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]

Myhre syndrome Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
Carcinoma of colon Benign:1
Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The SMAD4 p.Ala118= variant was identified in 1 of 140 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.007) from individuals or families with Juvenile polyposis syndrome (Pyatt 2006). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs145988618) as "With other allele", ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae, GeneDx, and ARUP; as likely benign by 7 submitters), Cosmic (2X in large intestine tissue), LOVD 3.0 (4x as benign or likely benign), and in ARUP Laboratories (as benign). The variant was identified in control databases in 768 of 277174 chromosomes (3 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.003 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 23 of 24032 chromosomes (freq: 0.0009), Other in 13 of 6462 chromosomes (freq: 0.002), Latino in 21 of 34418 chromosomes (freq: 0.0006), European in 572 of 126678 chromosomes (freq: 0.005), Ashkenazi Jewish in 3 of 10150 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), Finnish in 132 of 25786 chromosomes (freq: 0.005), and South Asian in 4 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001); it was not observed in the East Asian, population. The p.Ala118= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 24, 2014This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: 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. -
