Genes affected
MTHFS (HGNC:7437): (methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase) The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate to 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate, a precursor of reduced folates involved in 1-carbon metabolism. An increased activity of the encoded protein can result in an increased folate turnover rate and folate depletion. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 22, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 145 of the MTHFS protein (p.Arg145Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs753635972, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase deficiency (PMID: 30031689). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 522831). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -
