Genes affected

SMAD3 (HGNC:6769): (SMAD family member 3) The SMAD family of proteins are a group of intracellular signal transducer proteins similar to the gene products of the Drosophila gene 'mothers against decapentaplegic' (Mad) and the C. elegans gene Sma. The SMAD3 protein functions in the transforming growth factor-beta signaling pathway, and transmits signals from the cell surface to the nucleus, regulating gene activity and cell proliferation. This protein forms a complex with other SMAD proteins and binds DNA, functioning both as a transcription factor and tumor suppressor. Mutations in this gene are associated with aneurysms-osteoarthritis syndrome and Loeys-Dietz Syndrome 3. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, SMAD3
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.911

Invitae

Oct 15, 2023

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 228 of the SMAD3 protein (p.Glu228Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SMAD3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 213759). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (Invitae) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt SMAD3 function. 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. -

GeneDx

The E228K variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. However, it has been observed in one other individual who had DNA-based testing for TAAD-related disorders at GeneDx. The E228K variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 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 E228K 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. Moreover, this substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species, and, consequently, in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. However, no missense variants in nearby residues have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (Stenson et al., 2014), indicating that this region of the gene is not known to harbor disease-causing variants. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
