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

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 20 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.1, offset of -34, new splice context is: gtggcactgccctctgtcAGgag. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP3
Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
PP5
Variant 1-11794539-CT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-11794539-CT-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 187891.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 29, 2023Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with severe MTHFR deficiency (PMID: 25736335). This sequence change affects a splice site in intron 7 of the MTHFR gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs780014899, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant is also known as c.1179-2delA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187891). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 8 and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 25736335). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
