Thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection (GMS)
Gene: SMAD4
Submitted on behalf of the GMS Cardiology specialist group. This gene did not achieve a consensus Green rating; however, the group agreed that the existing evidence (published and in-house data) was sufficient to support inclusion in this panel.Created: 9 Dec 2019, 1:19 p.m. | Last Modified: 9 Dec 2019, 1:19 p.m.

Missense variants at codon 500 (and 496) are associated with Myhre syndrome (OMIM #139210), which overlaps with a cardiac phenotype. The variants were reported to be de novo in this paper, suggesting a hotspot. Michot et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet. 2014 ;22:1272-1277.
Loss-of-function in SMAD4 is associated with juvenile polyposis syndrome and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Aortopathy may be part of the phenotypic spectrum. Heald et al. Am J Med Genet A. 2015;167A:1758-62Created: 29 Aug 2019, 2:04 p.m. | Last Modified: 29 Aug 2019, 2:04 p.m.

This gene was part of an initial gene list collated by Matthew Edwards Royal Brompton Hospital sent 16th Jan 2019 on behalf of the London South GLH for review by the GMS Cardiology Specialist Group. Only gene symbol from the Royal Brompton gene panel was provided - suggested initial gene rating and evidence for inclusion not provided with the list.Created: 20 Feb 2019, 2:17 p.m.
