This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 3 of the MMAB 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 MMAB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15781192, 16410054). This variant is present in population databases (rs199971687, gnomAD 0.007%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with cblB-type methylmalonic aciduria (PMID: 16410054, 17957493, 23707710). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 219004). 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. -
NM_052845.3(MMAB):c.291-1G>A is a canonical splice variant classified as pathogenic in the context of methylmalonic acidemia, cblB type. c.291-1G>A has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 17957493, 15781192, 17948227, Vela_2009_(no PMID; thesis), Rincon_2005_(no PMID; abstract), 16410054, 12471062). Functional assessments of this variant are available in the literature (PMID: 17957493). c.291-1G>A has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: NFE 0.01%). In summary, NM_052845.3(MMAB):c.291-1G> is a canonical splice variant in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease, is predicted to disrupt protein function, and has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

Methylmalonic acidemia Pathogenic:1
Variant summary: MMAB c.291-1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site, and generates a new 3' acceptor site one nucleotide downstream. At least one publication reports experimental evidence using specific primers that selectively amplify exon 4-containing sequences, and determined that no normal mRNA transcripts were found by this approach (Merinero_2007). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 251370 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.291-1G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous or compound heterozygous individuals affected with Methylmalonic Acidemia (e.g. Dobson_2002, Lerner-Ellis_2006, Merinero_2007, Illson_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Publication also reported experimental evidence, demonstrating significantly decreased enzyme activities in homozygous patient derived cells (Lerner-Ellis_2006, Merinero_2007). Four other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
