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]

Variant summary: MTHFR c.971A>G (p.Asn324Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase domain (IPR003171) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250828 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.971A>G has been reported in the literature in at least one homozygous individual affected with Homocystinuria Due To Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase Deficiency (Kluijtmans_1998). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. Publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and this variant showed decreased enzyme activity in vitro and in cultured fibroblasts (Kluijtmans_1998, Sibani_2003, Burda_2017). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27743313, 9781030, 12673793, 34214447). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3522). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 324 of the MTHFR protein (p.Asn324Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency (PMID: 9781030). This variant is also known as A983G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3522). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MTHFR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MTHFR function (PMID: 12673793, 27743313, 34214447). 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. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change is predicted to replace asparagine with serine at codon 324 of the MTHFR protein, p.(Asn324Ser). The asparagine residue is evolutionary invariant (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and located in the catalytic domain. There is a small physicochemical difference between asparagine and serine. The variant is absent in a large population cohort (gnomAD v2.1), and has been reported in the homozygous state in at least one case with a biochemically established diagnosis of homocystinuria due to methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency (PMID: 9781030). In vitro enzymatic assays of the variant demonstrated decreased enzyme activity (further reduced when common polymorphism rs1801133 was in cis), and showed responsiveness to flavin adenine dinucleotide (PMID: 12673793). Multiple lines of computational evidence predict a deleterious effect for the missense substitution (7/7 algorithms). Based on the classification scheme RMH ACMG Guidelines v1.2.1, this variant is classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PM2, PS3_Supporting, PM3_Supporting, PP3, PP4. -
