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]

Variant summary: SMAD4 c.947A>G (p.Asn316Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.6e-05 in 251388 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00033 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 165 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in SMAD4 causing Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome phenotype (2e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of South Asian origin. c.947A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals who underwent multigene panel testing for a variety of indications. As a representative ascertainment, it was reported as a probably benign variant in a patient with medulloblastoma (e.g., Zhang_2015), as a VUS in patients with polyps/colorectal cancer (e.g., Chang_2017, Buendia_2021, Xu_2020), as a VUS in a patient with pulmonary hypertension (e.g., Yang_2018), as a VUS in a patient with breast and/or ovarian cancer (e.g., Kwong_2020). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome. At-least one recent report of co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants has been described in a 15 year old with an early onset colorectal adenocarcinoma who harbored pathogenic germline variants in both the APC and the MLH1 gene (APC c.3329C>A, p.Ser110*; MLH1 c.156del, p.Glu53Argfs*4, Buendia_2021), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. The APC variant was reported as a spontaneous mutation whereas the MLH1 and this SMAD4 variants were both maternally derived. 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: 26580448, 32068069, 33745841, 29069792, 29743074, 32973888). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 135245). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
