Genes affected
MMACHC (HGNC:24525): (metabolism of cobalamin associated C) The exact function of the protein encoded by this gene is not known, however, its C-terminal region shows similarity to TonB, a bacterial protein involved in energy transduction for cobalamin (vitamin B12) uptake. Hence, it is postulated that this protein may have a role in the binding and intracellular trafficking of cobalamin. Mutations in this gene are associated with methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type cblC. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg73*) in the MMACHC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MMACHC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16311595). This variant is present in population databases (rs796051995, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria (PMID: 16311595, 20631720, 27751223; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 203825). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: MMACHC c.217C>T (p.Arg73X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 249534 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.217C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygote and compound heterozygote individuals affected with Cobalamin C Disease (Methylmalonic Aciduria with Homocystinuria)(Hu_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
