Genes affected
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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg97*) in the MUTYH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MUTYH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18534194, 20663686). This variant is present in population databases (rs138775799, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of MUTYH-associated polyposis (PMID: 12606733, 17949294, 19732775, 19793053, 20618354). This variant is also known as R83X and R69X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 140827). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 3 of the MUTYH gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported as homozygous in an individual affected with polyposis and colorectal cancer (PMID: 19793053; referred to as R83X in this article) and as compound heterozygous with a known pathogenic variant p.Tyr179Cys in an individual affected with polyposis (PMID: 20618354). This variant has been identified in 4/282870 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MUTYH function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Arg94X (also known as p.Arg97X or p.Arg83X) variant in MUTYH has been previously reported as compound heterozygous in one individual with MUTYH-related attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP); as heterozygous in one individual with FAP; and as double heterozygous with a disease causing MSH6 variant in one individual with HNPCC (Seiber 2003, Steinke 2008, Vogt 2009). It has also been identified in 2/16512 of South Asian chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://-exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs138775799). This frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of MUTYH-related attenuated FAP in the general population. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 94, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Homozygous loss of function of the MUTYH gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals with MUTYH-related attenuated FAP. In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Arg94X variant may impact protein function (Goto 2010). In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for MUTYH-related attenuated FAP in an autosomal recessive manner based on the predicted impact of the variant. -

Variant summary: MUTYH c.289C>T (p.Arg97X) 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. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251934 control chromosomes. c.289C>T has been observed in multiple individuals affected with MUTYH-Associated Polyposis (e.g. Sieber_2003, Vogt_2009, Jones_2009, Olschwang_2007, Aretz_2006). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and found the variant to have severely defective DNA glycosylase activity (e.g. Goto_2010). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18301448, 16557584, 17949294, 19032956, 19732775, 20848659, 12606733, 19394335). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 140827). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic for MUTYH-Associated Polyposis and Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. -

The MUTYH c.247C>T (p.Arg83Ter) variant, also reported as c.289C>T (p.Arg97Ter), is a stop-gained variant that is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The p.Arg83Ter variant has been reported in at least six studies in which it is found in at least six individuals with MYH-associated polyposis, including in two in a homozygous state, in two in a compound heterozygous state with a missense variant on the second allele, and in two in a heterozygous state with a second variant remaining undetected (Sieber et al. 2003; Aretz et al. 2006; Olschwang et al. 2007; Steinke et al. 2008; Filipe et al. 2009; Morak et al. 2010). One of the individuals who was heterozygous for the p.Arg83Ter variant also carried a known pathogenic variant in the MSH6 gene in a heterozygous state (Steinke et al. 2008). The p.Arg83Ter variant was absent from 446 control chromosomes but is reported at a frequency of 0.00023 in the African American population from the Exome Sequencing Project. This is based on two alleles in a region of good sequence coverage so the variant is presumed to be rare. In vitro functional studies demonstrated that the adenine DNA glycosylase activity of the p.Arg83Ter variant protein was similar to background levels and severely impaired compared to wild type (Goto et al. 2010). Based on the evidence from the literature and the potential impact of stop-gained variants, the p.Arg83Ter variant is classified as pathogenic for MYH-associated polyposis. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

The p.R97* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.289C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the MUTYH gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 289. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 3. This mutation has been previously reported in individuals with MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) (Sieber OM et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2003 Feb;348(9):791-9; Vogt S et al. Gastroenterology. 2009 Dec;137(6):1976-85). Of note, this alteration is also designated as R83X and c.247C>T in published literature. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
