Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 17 ACMG points: 17P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001615.4(ACTG2):​c.118C>T​(p.Arg40Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-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 Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R40H) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected

ACTG2 (HGNC:145): (actin gamma 2, smooth muscle) Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and in the maintenance of the cytoskeleton. Three types of actins, alpha, beta and gamma, have been identified in vertebrates. Alpha actins are found in muscle tissues and are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. The beta and gamma actins co-exist in most cell types as components of the cytoskeleton and as mediators of internal cell motility. This gene encodes actin gamma 2; a smooth muscle actin found in enteric tissues. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Based on similarity to peptide cleavage of related actins, the mature protein of this gene is formed by removal of two N-terminal peptides.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 17 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr2-73901430-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP2: Missense variant in the ACTG2 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 35 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 0 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.3487 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.3482 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to visceral myopathy 1, familial visceral myopathy, megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.962
• PP5: Variant 2-73901429-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-73901429-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 132799.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr2-73901429-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The R40C variant in the ACTG2 gene has been reported previously in the apparently de novo, heterozygous state in one individual with megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) (Wangler et al., 2014). The R40C variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The R40C variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Missense variants at the same residue (R40H) and at nearby residue (M45T), have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with MMIHS (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. Therefore, we interpret R40C as a likely pathogenic variant -

The ACTG2 c.118C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg40Cys. This variant has been reported as de novo and of unknown inheritance in two patients with megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (Wangler et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24676022; Halim et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26647307). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
