Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points: 0P and 13B. BP4_StrongBP6BS1BS2

The NM_005957.5(MTHFR):​c.1409A>T​(p.Glu470Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00243 in 1,613,770 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 9 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E470Q) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
MTHFR (HGNC:7436): (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a co-substrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine. Genetic variation in this gene influences susceptibility to occlusive vascular disease, neural tube defects, colon cancer and acute leukemia, and mutations in this gene are associated with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.013907462).
BP6
Variant 1-11794028-T-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr1-11794028-T-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 292235.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00175 (266/152220) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.00268 (182/67988). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00236. There are 2 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 135 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 2 AR gene
