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]

Variant summary: MRE11A c.2070+5delA alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.1e-05 in 1608354 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in MRE11A causing Ataxia Telangiectasia-Like Disorder (2.1e-05 vs 0.0013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.2070+5delA in individuals affected with Ataxia Telangiectasia-Like Disorder and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141839). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The c.2070+5delA intronic variant, located in intron 18 of the MRE11A gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide within intron 18 of the MRE11A gene. This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change falls in intron 19 of the MRE11 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MRE11 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs587782048, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MRE11-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141839). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -
