The inherited c.1090C>T, p.(Arg364Ter) variant identified in the MRE11 gene is a nonsense variant leading to the premature termination of the protein at amino acid 364/709 (exon 10/20), and is expected to undergo nonsense mediated decay. This variant occurs upstream of the Helix-Loop-Helix and GAR domains of MRE11 which include regions that are critical for both RAD50 and DNA binding (for Review, [PMID:36358700]). This variant is found with low frequency in population databases (gnomADv3.1.2, gnomADv2.1.1, BRAVO-TOPMed and All of Us) with highest allele frequency of 5.2e-5 (14 heterozygotes; 0 homozygotes, gnomADv2.1.1). The c.1090C>T, p.(Arg364Ter) variant is reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (VarID:140953; 2 stars, 5 submissions, no conflicts) and has been reported in the literature in individuals with hereditary cancer predisposition [PMID:24763289, 25503501, 27153395, 28559769]. Additional nonsense and frameshift variants downstream of the one identified here have also been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (VarIDs:8782, 1681558, 820257, 481748, others), and reported in individuals with Ataxia-Telangiectasia-like Disorder [PMID:33426167, 11371508]. The inherited c.1090C>T, p.(Arg364Ter) variant identified in the MRE11 gene is reported here as Pathogenic. -

The MRE11 c.1090C>T (p.Arg364*) variant causes the premature termination of MRE11 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 28559769 (2017), 25503501 (2015), 24763289 (2014)), and in an individual with ataxia-telangiectasia-like disorder (PMID: 37808486 (2023)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00026 (8/30610 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The p.R364* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1090C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the MRE11A gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1090. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This mutation was reported in an individual with a personal and family history breast cancer (Maxwell KN et al. Genet. Med. 2015 Aug; 17(8):630-8). This mutation, designated p.Arg364Ter, was also identified in an Asian Indian woman with breast cancer and a family history of breast and endometrial cancers (Sharma Bhai P et al. Breast Care (Basel), 2017 May;12:114-116). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:1
Variant summary: MRE11 c.1090C>T (p.Arg364X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.2e-05 in 251384 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than the estimated maximum expected for a pathogenic variant in MRE11 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) Syndrome (6.3e-05). The variant, c.1090C>T, has been reported in the literature in several individuals affected with HBOC and other tumor phenotypes (e.g. LaDuca_2014, Sharma Bhai_2017, Maxwell_2017, Hartman_2020, Zhou_2020, and Walsh_2021). 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. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and all laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Ataxia-telangiectasia-like disorder Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg364*) in the MRE11 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MRE11 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23080121, 23912341). This variant is present in population databases (rs371077728, gnomAD 0.03%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary cancer (PMID: 24763289). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 140953). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
