Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PVS1PP5

The NM_005591.4(MRE11):​c.1960_1979dupGACATTTTTCCTACCACTTC​(p.Lys661ThrfsTer45) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000591 in 152,234 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

Available data are insufficient to determine the clinical significance of the variant at this time. The frequency of this variant in the general population is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) This variant is not expected to cause loss of protein expression through nonsense-mediated decay. However, it may still disrupt protein function. This variant has been identified in at least one individual with clinical features associated with this gene. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1960_1979dup20 variant, located in coding exon 17 of the MRE11A gene, results from a duplication of GACATTTTTCCTACCACTTC at nucleotide position 1960, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K661Tfs*45). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys661Thrfs*45) in the MRE11 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 48 amino acid(s) of the MRE11 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs587781442, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ataxia-telangiectasia-like disorder (PMID: 33426167). This variant is also known as c.1876_1895dup; p.Lys633fs. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141025). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
