Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The 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). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. 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
ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 230014). For 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. 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
The 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. -
