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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-11802915-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-11802915-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1068525.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg68*) in the MTHFR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MTHFR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25736335). This variant is present in population databases (rs763539350, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MTHFR-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1068525). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
