Genes affected

SMAD3 (HGNC:6769): (SMAD family member 3) The SMAD family of proteins are a group of intracellular signal transducer proteins similar to the gene products of the Drosophila gene 'mothers against decapentaplegic' (Mad) and the C. elegans gene Sma. The SMAD3 protein functions in the transforming growth factor-beta signaling pathway, and transmits signals from the cell surface to the nucleus, regulating gene activity and cell proliferation. This protein forms a complex with other SMAD proteins and binds DNA, functioning both as a transcription factor and tumor suppressor. Mutations in this gene are associated with aneurysms-osteoarthritis syndrome and Loeys-Dietz Syndrome 3. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 15-67164933-G-GGC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-67164933-G-GGC is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 405565.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in SMAD3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21778426, 24804794). This sequence change inserts 2 nucleotide in exon 2 of the SMAD3 mRNA (c.246_247dupGC), causing a frameshift at codon 83. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu83Argfs*34) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
