Nonsense variant in the C-terminus predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 58 amino acids are lost, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34426522, 28058511, 22499348, 25058219, 23499752, 24461907, 27290639, 30369941, 31589614, 32577402, 32133637, 25911677, 31980526, 30911575) -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg332*) in the MTFMT gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 58 amino acid(s) of the MTFMT protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs200286768, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency (PMID: 22499348, 23499752). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 39830). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: MTFMT c.994C>T (p.Arg332X) results in a premature termination codon in the last exon of the encoded protein, however, is not expected to undergo nonsense mediated decay. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 9.3e-05 in 247616 control chromosomes. c.994C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with MTFMT-Related Disorders (e.g. Hayhurst_2019). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30911575). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 39830). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.994C>T (p.R332*) alteration, located in exon 9 (coding exon 9) of the MTFMT gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 994. This changes the amino acid from an arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 332. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of the MTFMT gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 14.65% of the protein. Premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature. This alteration has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in multiple patients with mitochondrial methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase deficiency (Bennett, 2020; Haack, 2012; Haack, 2014; Neeve, 2013; Pronicka, 2016; Theunissen, 2018). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
