Invitae | RCV002233708 | SCV000836336 | uncertain significance | Juvenile polyposis syndrome | 2018-04-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 380 of the SMAD4 protein (p.Arg380Trp). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and tryptophan. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with SMAD4-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. 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. |
