Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points: 17P and 0B. PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_001613.4(ACTA2):c.446G>T(p.Arg149Leu) variant causes a missense change. 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. R149H) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

p.Arg149Leu (CGC>CTC): c.446 G>T in exon 5 of the ACTA2 gene (NM_001613.2)While the R149L mutation in the ACTA2 gene has not been reported to our knowledge, a mutation affecting this same residue, R149C, has been reported in association with TAAD (Morisaki H et al., 2009; Guo DC et al., 2009). Additionally, mutations in nearby residues (Y145C, V154A) have been reported in association with TAAD, further supporting the functional importance of this residue and this region of the protein. R149L results in a non-conservative amino acid substitution of Laucine at a position that is highly conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts R149L is damaging to the protein structure/function. Furthermore, R149L 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.In summary, R149L in the ACTA2 gene is interpreted as a likely disease-causing mutation. The variant is found in TAAD panel(s). -
Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 6 Pathogenic:1
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 149 of the ACTA2 protein (p.Arg149Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of ACTA2-related conditions (Invitae). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 199671). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt ACTA2 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg149 amino acid residue in ACTA2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19409525, 21212136, 21248741, 24020716, 25644172). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. -
