Genes affected
MMACHC (HGNC:24525): (metabolism of cobalamin associated C) The exact function of the protein encoded by this gene is not known, however, its C-terminal region shows similarity to TonB, a bacterial protein involved in energy transduction for cobalamin (vitamin B12) uptake. Hence, it is postulated that this protein may have a role in the binding and intracellular trafficking of cobalamin. Mutations in this gene are associated with methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type cblC. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr205*) in the MMACHC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 78 amino acid(s) of the MMACHC protein. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.06%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria (PMID: 16311595, 19914430, 20631720, 25388550). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 558292). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Variant summary: MMACHC c.615C>A (p.Tyr205X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 249538 control chromosomes. c.615C>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cobalamin C Disease (Methylmalonic Aciduria With Homocystinuria, e.g. Hu_2018, Zhang_2020). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. Three 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.
