We report a 2-year-old girl diagnosed with Myhre syndrome by whole exome sequencing (WES) that revealed the recurrent p.Ile500Val mutation in the SMAD4 gene.
They both had de novo c.1498A > G (p.Ile500Val) variant in SMAD4 and presented with key characteristics of Myhre syndrome but also revealed uncommon features (polydactyly in the girl and precocious puberty in the boy).
We report on four novel patients (one female proband and her two affected children, and one male proband) with Myhre syndrome harboring the recurrent c.1486C>T (p.Arg496Cys) mutation in SMAD4.
In this study, we functionally characterized the Smad4 S271N mutation (the mutation c. 812G>A in Smad4 results in the amino acid substitution Ser271Asn) that was isolated from TAA individuals.
They both had de novo c.1498A > G (p.Ile500Val) variant in SMAD4 and presented with key characteristics of Myhre syndrome but also revealed uncommon features (polydactyly in the girl and precocious puberty in the boy).

Sequencing of OANC1 DNA identified homozygous TP53 missense (c.856G[A, p.E286K)and SMAD4 nonsense (c.1333C[T, p.R445X) mutations.OANC1 are tumorigenic when injected sub-cutaneously into SCID mice and xenografts were positive for columnar, glandular and intestinal epithelial markers commonly expressed in EAC.
A strong association with clinical outcome were detected for the genes SMAD4 _rs3819122 with tumor size (OR = 0.45; 95 % CI 0.25-0.82; P = 0.009) and TTN_rs2244492 with estrogen receptor (OR = 0.45; 95 % CI 0.25-0.82; P = 0.009).
Four SNPs (rs13381619, rs9955626, rs1792658, and rs1792671) within SMAD2, one SNP within SMAD3 (rs41473580), two SNPs within SMAD4 (rs7229678 and rs9304407), and one SNP within SMAD7 (rs12956924) were significantly associated with susceptibility only to UC. rs13381619 within SMAD2, rs4147358 within SMAD3, rs9304407 within SMAD4, and rs12956924 within SMAD7 exhibited the strongest association (p < 0.001, p = 0.021, p = 0.005, and p = 0.001, respectively).
Next-generation sequencing detected mutations at p.Q61H (c.183A>C) of KRAS and p.E545K (c.1633G>A) of PIK3CA, keeping in line with similarity to conventional cholangiocarcinoma.
