Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PVS1_Strong PM2 PP5

The NM_005359.6(SMAD4):c.1597del(p.Leu533SerfsTer4) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in Lovd as Pathogenic (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. AL532A?) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 10 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 18-51078402-GC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-51078402-GC-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
