Genes affected
ACTA2 (HGNC:130): (actin alpha 2, smooth muscle) This gene encodes one of six different actin proteins. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility, structure, integrity, and intercellular signaling. The encoded protein is a smooth muscle actin that is involved in vascular contractility and blood pressure homeostasis. Mutations in this gene cause a variety of vascular diseases, such as thoracic aortic disease, coronary artery disease, stroke, and Moyamoya disease, as well as multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome.

STAMBPL1 (HGNC:24105): (STAM binding protein like 1) Predicted to enable Lys63-specific deubiquitinase activity and thiol-dependent deubiquitinase. Predicted to be involved in protein K63-linked deubiquitination. Located in membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 29, 2021The c.553C>T (p.R185*) alteration, located in exon 6 (coding exon 5) of the ACTA2 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 553. This changes the amino acid from a arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 185. Premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature (Richards, 2015). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 03, 2020Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is not a known mechanism of disease; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 6 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 07, 2022This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg185*) in the ACTA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in ACTA2 cause disease. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.06%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 389807). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
