Genes affected
MTHFR (HGNC:7436): (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a co-substrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine. Genetic variation in this gene influences susceptibility to occlusive vascular disease, neural tube defects, colon cancer and acute leukemia, and mutations in this gene are associated with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -20 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.009440869).
BP6
Variant 1-11792355-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr1-11792355-G-A is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 697065.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00178 (271/152302) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.00467 (194/41568). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00413. There are 3 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 136 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 3 AR gene
