Genes affected

MUTYH (HGNC:7527): (mutY DNA glycosylase) This gene encodes a DNA glycosylase involved in oxidative DNA damage repair. The enzyme excises adenine bases from the DNA backbone at sites where adenine is inappropriately paired with guanine, cytosine, or 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, a major oxidatively damaged DNA lesion. The protein is localized to the nucleus and mitochondria. This gene product is thought to play a role in signaling apoptosis by the introduction of single-strand breaks following oxidative damage. Mutations in this gene result in heritable predisposition to colorectal cancer, termed MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.37-5T>G intronic variant results from a T to G substitution 5 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 2 in the MUTYH gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will not have any significant effect on splicing; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes a T to G nucleotide substitution at the -5 position of intron 1 of the MUTYH gene. Splice site prediction tools are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MUTYH-related disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: MUTYH c.37-5T>G alters a conserved nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant weakens a 3 acceptor site. One predict the variant no significant impact on splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 251466 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.37-5T>G in individuals affected with MUTYH-Associated Polyposis and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 233892). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted MUTYH c.37-5T>G or IVS1-5T>G and consists of a T>G nucleotide substitution at the -5 position of intron 1 of the MUTYH gene. Multiple in silico models predict this variant to damage the nearby natural acceptor site and to possibly cause abnormal gene splicing; however, in the absence of RNA or functional studies, the actual effect of this variant is unknown. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. MUTYH c.37-5T>G was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The thymine (T) nucleotide that is altered is conserved through mammals. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether MUTYH c.37-5T>G is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
