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]

The c.430_431delTC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 3 of the SMAD4 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at positions 430 and 431, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S144Rfs*7). In one study, this mutation was detected in a patient diagnosed in infancy with over 5 juvenile polyps in the rectum and stomach (Pyatt RE et al. J. Mol. Diagn. 2006 Feb;8:84-88). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser144Argfs*7) in the SMAD4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SMAD4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16152648, 16436638, 22810475). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with juvenile polyposis syndrome and adenomatous polyposis (PMID: 16436638, 23399955). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 24804). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
