Variant summary

Our verdict is The variant received 0 classification points (ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019).

The NM_005957.5(MTHFR):c.*4072_*4077dupAAAAAA variant causes a 3 prime UTR change. Note: allele frequency estimates from gnomAD may be inaccurate for this variant type (MNP or indel longer than 3 bp) due to technology limitations. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.000401 (AC=57) in the gnomAD database across 142,214 control chromosomes, including 1 homozygote. The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.00112. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.

Genes affected

MTHFR (HGNC:7436): (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a co-substrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine. Genetic variation in this gene influences susceptibility to occlusive vascular disease, neural tube defects, colon cancer and acute leukemia, and mutations in this gene are associated with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
