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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Arg305Trp variant has been reported in a heterozygous form in one individual with ovarian cancer (Heikkinen 2003). This variant (rs372000848) is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) with allele frequency of 0.009 percent in non-Finnish European populations (identified on 11 out of 126,314) and has been reported to the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 127989). Arginine at codon 305 is highly conserved considering 13 species, up to Baker’s yeast (Alamut v2.10), and computational analyses support a deleterious impact on the protein structure and function (PolyPhen2: possibly damaging, SIFT: damaging, and Mutation Taster: disease causing). Altogether, the clinical significance of p.Arg305Trp variant cannot be determined with certainty. -

Variant summary: MRE11 c.913C>T (p.Arg305Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Mre11, DNA-binding domain (IPR007281) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.7e-05 in 282364 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in MRE11 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (5.7e-05 vs 6.3e-05), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.913C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ovarian cancer, prostate cancer or cerebellar ataxia (Heikkinen_2003, Rantapero_2020, da Graa_2021). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and it showed hR305W was sensitive to DNA damage reagents (MMS/HU) (Harris_2021). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33510186, 34075539, 14684699, 24093751, 22078559, 32183364, 33956305). Five submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The p.R305W variant (also known as c.913C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the MRE11A gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 913. The arginine at codon 305 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state with a second alteration in MRE11A (c.1442C>A, p.Thr481Lys) in a patient with ataxia at age 7; however, the phase of these two alterations was not confirmed (da Gra&ccedil;a FF et al. Cerebellum, 2022 Feb;21:49-54). This alteration has also been reported in one ovarian cancer patient from a cohort of 151 families with signs of hereditary susceptibility to breast and/or ovarian cancer (Heikkinen K et al. J. Med. Genet. 2003 Dec;40:e131). Further, structural analysis of this amino acid position has shown that the p.R305W alteration is predicted to perturb interactions between the guanidium group of Arg305 and the carbonyl oxygen of Lys360 (Park YB et al. Structure. 2011 Nov;19:1591-602). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. 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 tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 305 of the MRE11 protein (p.Arg305Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs372000848, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cerebellar ataxia, ovarian cancer, and/or prostate cancer (PMID: 14684699, 32183364, 33956305). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127989). 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 disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MRE11 function (PMID: 34075539). 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. -
