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]

Homocystinuria due to methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 24, 2022This variant, c.643_645del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the MTHFR protein (p.Lys215del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs746353274, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with severe methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency or homocystinuria (PMID: 25736335, 27768236). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187878). 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 06, 2021Variant summary: MTHFR c.643_645delAAG (p.Lys215del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove one amino acid from the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251490 control chromosomes. c.643_645delAAG has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Homocystinuria Due To Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase Deficiency. In one case, the variant was reported in a patient with hyperhomocysteinemia who had less than 1.5% residual MTHFR activity in cultured fibroblasts cell lines, but also carried an additional MTHFR variant (c.391C>T), making conclusions about the functional significance of the variant of interest difficult to assess (Bruda_2015). Additonally, the variant was reported in a patient referred for pharmacogenetic analysis prior to chemotherapy initiation, who also displayed hyperhomocysteinemia (Palmirotta_2017). The patient also carried c.677C>T and c.1298A>C, variants known to be associated wiht decreased enzyme activity. Segregation studies showed the probands daughter to carry all three variants and displayed similar hyperhomocysteinemia, while the probands son carried only c.1298A>C as well as the variant of interest, and had normal biochemical values. Thus the authors concluced that the increased plamsa tHcy appeared to be most likely related to the c.677C>T variant, and that the c.643_645delAAG is not suggestive of a pathogenic effect. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One laboratory classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS. -
