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]

Homocystinuria due to methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency Pathogenic:3
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 27, 2023In 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187867). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with severe MTHFR deficiency (PMID: 25736335, 28241805). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is present in population databases (rs776483190, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 46 of the MTHFR protein (p.Arg46Gln). -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpSep 01, 2023Variant summary: MTHFR c.137G>A (p.Arg46Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251332 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.137G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Homocystinuria Due To Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase Deficiency (Burda_2015, Iida_2017, Crass_2020). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least two publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity (Burda_2015, Weile_2021). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25736335, 33125268, 28241805, 34845156, 35008593, 34214447). One submitter has cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and has classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
