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]

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 536 of the MTHFR protein (p.Val536Phe). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with MTHFR-related conditions (PMID: 25736335). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187896). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MTHFR function (PMID: 27743313). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
