Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PVS1
The NM_001407072.1(MUTYH):c.-8_-7+1delCTGinsTTA variant causes a splice donor, 5 prime UTR, intron change involving the alteration of a non-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. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
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]
TOE1 (HGNC:15954): (target of EGR1, exonuclease) Enables poly(A)-specific ribonuclease activity and snRNA binding activity. Involved in RNA phosphodiester bond hydrolysis, exonucleolytic and snRNA 3'-end processing. Located in Cajal body and cytoplasm. Implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 7.
