Genes affected
SMAD6 (HGNC:6772): (SMAD family member 6) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the SMAD family of proteins, which are related to Drosophila 'mothers against decapentaplegic' (Mad) and C. elegans Sma. SMAD proteins are signal transducers and transcriptional modulators that mediate multiple signaling pathways. This protein functions in the negative regulation of BMP and TGF-beta/activin-signalling. Multiple transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly156Valfs*23) in the SMAD6 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 SMAD6 cause disease. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with sagittal craniosynostosis, bicuspid aortic valve-associated thoracic aortic aneurysm and/or radioulnar synostosis (PMID: 28659821, 28808027, 31138930). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 638816). 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. -
