Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_001048174.2(MUTYH):c.309_322dupGGTCTCAGAGGTCA(p.Met108ArgfsTer15) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,894 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in MUTYH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20663686, 18534194). This sequence change inserts 14 nucleotides in exon 5 of the MUTYH mRNA (c.393_406dupGGTCTCAGAGGTCA), causing a frameshift at codon 136. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Met136Argfs*15) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
