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 16 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.051243022 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.5, offset of -40, new splice context is: gaaGTacga. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP3
Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
PP5
Variant 1-11792276-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-11792276-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 187897.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 27, 2023This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 10 of the MTHFR gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in MTHFR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25736335). This variant is present in population databases (rs749765738, gnomAD 0.007%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with MTHFR deficiency (PMID: 25736335). This variant is also known as c.1644+2T>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187897). 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. -
