Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Strong

The NM_001613.4(ACTA2):​c.461T>C​(p.Val154Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V154M) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

ACTA2 (HGNC:130): (actin alpha 2, smooth muscle) This gene encodes one of six different actin proteins. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility, structure, integrity, and intercellular signaling. The encoded protein is a smooth muscle actin that is involved in vascular contractility and blood pressure homeostasis. Mutations in this gene cause a variety of vascular diseases, such as thoracic aortic disease, coronary artery disease, stroke, and Moyamoya disease, as well as multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome.

STAMBPL1 (HGNC:24105): (STAM binding protein like 1) Predicted to enable Lys63-specific deubiquitinase activity and thiol-dependent deubiquitinase. Predicted to be involved in protein K63-linked deubiquitination. Located in membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 12 uncertain in NM_001613.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the ACTA2 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 27 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 0 curated benign missense variants. Trascript score misZ: 4.6117 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome, connective tissue disorder, familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, Moyamoya disease 5, aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 6.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.97

This variant disrupts the p.Val154 amino acid residue in ACTA2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with ACTA2-related conditions (Invitae), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 154 of the ACTA2 protein (p.Val154Ala). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with aortic aneurysm and/or dissection (PMID: 17994018; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 469085). 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. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
