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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingFoundation for Research in Genetics and Endocrinology, FRIGE's Institute of Human GeneticsAug 24, 2020A heterozygous missense variation in exon 3 of the MTHFR gene that results in the amino acid substitution of Glutamine for Arginine at codon 183 was detected. The observed variant c.548G>A (p.Arg183Gln) lies in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase domain of the MTHFR protein and has previously been reported in homozygous state, in patients affected with homocystinuria (Burda et al. 2015). Functional studies showed that the observed missense caused deleterious loss of MTHFR protein expression and activity (Burda et al. 2017). The variant has a minor allele frequency of 0.02% in the 1000 genomes and 0.006% in gnomAD database. The in silico predictions of the variant are probably damaging by PolyPhen-2 (HumDiv) and damaging by SIFT, LRT and MutationTaster2. The reference codon is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 28, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 183 of the MTHFR protein (p.Arg183Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs574132670, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with MTHFR deficiency (PMID: 25736335). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187876). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on MTHFR protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MTHFR function (PMID: 27743313). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Thrombophilia due to thrombin defect Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNeuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGMJun 22, 2023The observed missense c.548G>A (p.Arg183Gln) variant in MTHFR gene has been reported in heterozygous/ homozygous states in multiple individuals affected with MTHFR-related disorders (Burda et al., 2015; Capalbo et al., 2019; Froese et al., 2016). Functional studies showed that the variant caused deleterious loss of MTHFR protein expression and activity (Burda et al., 2017). This variant is present with allele frequency of 0.006% in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Likely Pathogenic/ Pathogenic. Multiple lines of computational evidence (Polyphen - Probably Damaging, SIFT - Damaging and MutationTaster - Disease causing) predict a damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. The reference amino acid of p.Arg183Gln in MTHFR is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid Arg at position 183 is changed to a Gln changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
