Genes affected
MMACHC (HGNC:24525): (metabolism of cobalamin associated C) The exact function of the protein encoded by this gene is not known, however, its C-terminal region shows similarity to TonB, a bacterial protein involved in energy transduction for cobalamin (vitamin B12) uptake. Hence, it is postulated that this protein may have a role in the binding and intracellular trafficking of cobalamin. Mutations in this gene are associated with methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type cblC. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

| Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM | - | The observed frameshift variant c.271dup(p.Arg91LysfsTer14) in MMACHC gene has been reported previously in homozygous and compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with cobalamin C disease (Wang C, et al., 2019, Guéant JL, et al., 2018). Experimental evidence has demonstrated a significant reduction in transcript levels in the presence of this variant (Lerner-Ellis JP, et al., 2009). The c.271dup variant is reported with 0.1% allele frequency in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Uncertain Significance/Pathogenic (multiple submissions).This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Arginine at 91, changes this aminoacid to Lysine residue, and creates a premature stop codon at position 14 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Arg91LysfsTer14. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |
| Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 29, 2024 | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg91Lysfs*14) in the MMACHC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MMACHC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16311595). This variant is present in population databases (rs543840147, gnomAD 0.2%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with early onset cobalamin C deficiency (PMID: 16311595, 19760748, 20631720, 24599607, 25894566). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1421). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |

| Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Sep 12, 2016 | Variant summary: The MMACHC c.271dupA (p.Arg91Lysfs) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent MMACHC protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. This variant was found in 132/120196 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0010982, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic MMACHC variant (0.0030542). The variant is a well known common disease variant and has been reported in numerous affected individuals in the literature, including individuals carrying the variant in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state (Lerner-Ellis_2006). Supporting the pathogenicity of this variant, incorporation of labelled methyltetrahydrofolate and propionate into cellular macromolecules was significantly affected in patients with homozygous or compound heterozygous c.271dupA (Lerner-Ellis_2006). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. - |

| Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine | Aug 08, 2013 | The Arg91LysfsX14 variant in MMACHC has been identified in homozygosity in 81 individuals and in compound heterozygosity in 86 individuals with methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, cblC type (Lerner-Ellis 2006, Richard 2009, Liu 2010). This frameshift variant is predicted to alter the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 91 and lead to a premature termination codon 14 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. In summary, this variant meets our criteria for pathogenicity. - |

Disorders of Intracellular Cobalamin Metabolism Pathogenic:1Other:1
| Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina | Oct 26, 2017 | The MMACHC c.271dupA (p.Arg91LysfsTer14) variant, also referred to as c.270_271insA, results in a frameshift variant and is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The p.Arg91LysfsTer14 variant is well described in the literature and is reported as the most common pathogenic variant in the MMACHC gene accounting for approximately 40% of disease alleles (Manoli et al. 2016). The variant has been reported in at least 12 studies in which it was found in over 270 individuals with disorders of intracellular cobalamin metabolism, including at least 127 in a homozygous state and 143 in a compound heterozygous state (Lerner-Ellis et al. 2006; Morel et al. 2006; Heil et al. 2007; Nogueira et al. 2008; Lerner-Ellis et al. 2009; Perez et al. 2010; Frattini et al. 2010; Tsai et al. 2011; Komhoff et al. 2103; Gizicki et al. 2014; Fischer et al. 2014; Collison et al. 2015). The variant was absent from 105 controls and is reported at a frequency of 0.00173 in the European American population of the Exome Sequencing Project. Individuals who carry the p.Arg91LysfsTer14 variant in a homozygous state tend to have an earlier age of onset of the condition while the age of onset of disease when carried in the compound heterozygous state varies depending on the second variant (Morel et al. 2006). Functional studies in patient fibroblasts demonstrated that the p.Arg91LysfsTer variant results in significantly lower levels of transcript compared to wild type. Based on the potential impact of frameshift variants and the supporting evidence from the literature, the p.Arg91LysfsTer14 variant is classified as pathogenic for disorders of intracellular cobalamin metabolism. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. - |

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
| Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Jun 02, 2021 | The c.271dupA (p.R91Kfs*14) alteration, located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the MMACHC gene, consists of a duplication of A at position 271, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 14 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), the MMACHC c.271dupA alteration was observed in 0.11% (314/280836) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.28% (29/10356) in the Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation. This mutation has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in multiple unrelated patients with methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, cblC type. It is the most frequently identified MMACHC mutation accounting for 30-50% of alleles and is typically associated with infantile onset disease (Lerner-Ellis, 2006; Richard, 2009; Fischer, 2014). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. - |
