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]

Homocystinuria due to methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 23, 2023This sequence change falls in intron 11 of the MTHFR gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MTHFR protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with MTHFR deficiency (PMID: 25736335). This variant is also known as c.1765-18G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187901). Studies have shown that this variant results in activation of a cryptic splice site 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. -
