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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.E77* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.229G>T), located in coding exon 3 of the MRE11A gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 229. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 3. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu77*) in the MRE11 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MRE11 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23080121, 23912341). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with endometrium cancer (PMID: 26845104). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 224574). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
