Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Moderate
The NM_001048174.2(MUTYH):c.775dupG(p.Ala259fs) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A259A) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
MUTYH (HGNC:7527): (mutY DNA glycosylase) This gene encodes a DNA glycosylase involved in oxidative DNA damage repair. The enzyme excises adenine bases from the DNA backbone at sites where adenine is inappropriately paired with guanine, cytosine, or 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, a major oxidatively damaged DNA lesion. The protein is localized to the nucleus and mitochondria. This gene product is thought to play a role in signaling apoptosis by the introduction of single-strand breaks following oxidative damage. Mutations in this gene result in heritable predisposition to colorectal cancer, termed MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]
Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.
PVS1
Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 1-45332239-G-GC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-45332239-G-GC is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1069525.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1069525). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MUTYH-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala287Glyfs*42) in the MUTYH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MUTYH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18534194, 20663686). -
