Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM1PP3
The NM_001128425.2(MUTYH):c.603_604delGCinsAT(p.MetPro201IleSer) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type MNV, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
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]

No computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, but strongly conserved according to phyloP
In summary, this is a novel in-frame deletion-insertion with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available for this variant, and the functional significance of the inserted amino acids is currently unknown. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a MUTYH-related disease. This variant, c.603_604delGCinsAT, is a complex sequence change that results in the replacement of 2 amino acids of the MUTYH protein by 2 different ones (p.Met201_Pro202delinsIleSer). -
