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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 03, 2021The c.659+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 6 of the MRE11A gene. This alteration was detected in a patient with a disorder resembling a Nijmegen breakage syndrome-like severe microcephaly but without reported immunodeficiency. The authors performed RT-PCR and sequencing analysis which demonstrated that this mutation results in exon 7 skipping leading to premature protein truncation (Matsumoto Y et al. DNA Repair (Amst.). 2011 Mar;10:314-21). This alteration was also detected in 1/230 unselected Japanese women with ovarian cancer (Hirasawa A et al. Oncotarget. 2017 Dec;8:112258-112267). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
Ataxia-telangiectasia-like disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 22, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 7 and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 21227757). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 230014). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with Nijmegen breakage syndrome-like severe microcephaly or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21227757, 29348823). This variant is present in population databases (rs759130031, gnomAD 0.03%). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 7 of the MRE11 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
MRE11-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJun 02, 2023The MRE11 c.659+1G>A variant is predicted to disrupt the GT donor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant has been reported in individuals with ovarian cancer and/or a family history of cancer (Hirasawa et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29348823; Table S1, Shao et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31742824). However, in a study of individuals with pancreatic cancer, this variant was only reported in control subjects (eTable 3, Hu et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29922827). This variant was also reported in the compound heterozygous state in a patient with Nijmegen breakage syndrome-like severe microcephaly (Patient 1, Matsumoto et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21227757). This variant is reported in 0.027% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/11-94209454-C-T) and is reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/230014/). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice donor site in MRE11 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
