Genes affected

MRE11 (HGNC:7230): (MRE11 homolog, double strand break repair nuclease) This gene encodes a nuclear protein involved in homologous recombination, telomere length maintenance, and DNA double-strand break repair. By itself, the protein has 3' to 5' exonuclease activity and endonuclease activity. The protein forms a complex with the RAD50 homolog; this complex is required for nonhomologous joining of DNA ends and possesses increased single-stranded DNA endonuclease and 3' to 5' exonuclease activities. In conjunction with a DNA ligase, this protein promotes the joining of noncomplementary ends in vitro using short homologies near the ends of the DNA fragments. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome 3. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

The p.R502C variant (also known as c.1504C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the MRE11A gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1504. The arginine at codon 502 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. In one study, this variant was reported in 0/1313 early-onset breast cancer cases and 1/1123 population controls (Damiola F et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2014 Jun;16:R58). This alteration was also reported in a study of 1297 cases of early-onset breast cancer and 1121 controls; although it was not specified if this variant was observed in a case or control (Young EL et al. J. Med. Genet. 2016 Jun;53:366-76). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 502 of the MRE11 protein (p.Arg502Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs186333183, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with acute lymphocytic leukemia (PMID: 26580448). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142153). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant¬†is likely to be tolerated. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: MRE11 c.1504C>T (p.Arg502Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00012 in 250326 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 2 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MRE11 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome phenotype (6.3e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.1504C>T has been reported in the literature as a germline variant in one case of hyperdiploid ALL in a cohort of pediatric cancer patients younger than age 20 undergoing multigene sequence analysis (example, Zhang_2015). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
