Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PVS1_ModeratePM2PP5_Moderate
The NM_001128425.2(MUTYH):c.463-1G>C variant causes a splice acceptor, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★).
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]

Variant 1-45332960-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-45332960-C-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 406853.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 5 of the MUTYH gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in MUTYH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18534194, 20663686). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with MUTYH-associated polyposis (PMID: 16557584, 19732775; Invitae). This variant is also known as c.421-1G>C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406853). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
