Genetic Variant NM_002426.6:c.-124A>C (chr11-102875061-T-G) – ACMG Classification: Uncertain_significance (2 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is The variant received 2 classification points (ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025). O3_Moderate

The NM_002426.6(MMP12):c.-124A>C variant causes a upstream gene change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The gene MMP12 is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 3 oncogene citations). The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. In-silico predictor (BayesDel (noAF)) classifies this variant as likely benign. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.

Genes affected

MMP12 (HGNC:7158): (matrix metallopeptidase 12) This gene encodes a member of the peptidase M10 family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Proteins in this family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protease. This protease degrades soluble and insoluble elastin. This gene may play a role in aneurysm formation and mutations in this gene are associated with lung function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes on chromosome 11. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
