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]

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 11-94471679-T-TG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-94471679-T-TG is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 187699.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.739dupC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 7 of the MRE11A gene, results from a duplication of C at nucleotide position 739, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. Since frameshifts are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in MRE11A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10612394, 11371508). This sequence change inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 8 of the MRE11A mRNA (c.739dupC), causing a frameshift at codon 247. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.His247Profs*2) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
