Description
ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 519576). This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 49 of the ACTA2 protein (p.Met49Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of ACTA2-related conditions (Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. 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.Met49 amino acid residue in ACTA2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with ACTA2-related conditions (PMID: 21248741), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
