Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3
The NM_005412.6(SHMT2):c.469C>A(p.Pro157Thr) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,298 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P157S) has been classified as Pathogenic.
SHMT2 (HGNC:10852): (serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2) This gene encodes the mitochondrial form of a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible reaction of serine and tetrahydrofolate to glycine and 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate. The encoded product is primarily responsible for glycine synthesis. The activity of the encoded protein has been suggested to be the primary source of intracellular glycine. The gene which encodes the cytosolic form of this enzyme is located on chromosome 17. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
