ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV000224855 SCV000605443 pathogenic not provided 2017-05-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The m.3243A>G variant (rs199474657) disrupts the mitochondrial tRNA for leucine (UUR), and is one of the most common pathogenic variants in the mitochondrial genome. The clinical presentation associated with this variant is highly variable and depends on the total percentage of abnormal mitochondria and tissue-specific distribution. The m.3243A>G variant was initially identified in patients with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome (Goto 1990), and recent epidemiological studies found that the most frequent presentation is maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (Mancuso 2013, and Nesbitt 2013). Other clinical manifestations include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, ataxia, basal-ganglia calcifications, and ophthalmoplegia (Gerbitz 1993 and Majamaa 1998).

Unidad de Genómica Médica UC, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile RCV000032997 SCV000899115 pathogenic Diabetes-deafness syndrome maternally transmitted 2012-03-05 criteria provided, single submitter research Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness (MIDD) is caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), mainly m.3243A>G. Severity, onset and clinical phenotype of MIDD patients are partially determined by the proportion of mutant mitochondrial DNA copies in each cell and tissue (heteroplasmy). The identification of MIDD allows a corred treatment with insulin avoiding drugs that may interfere with mitochondrial electron chain transport. We estimated the degree of heteroplasmy of the mutation m.3243A>G from blood, saliva, hair root and a muscle biopsy using quantitative PCR (qPCR) in a female adult patient. For this purpose, PCR products were inserted in a vector creating plasmids with 3243A or G. Mutant and wild-type vectors were mixed in different proportions to create a calibration curve used to interpolate heteroplasmy percentages with qPCR threshold cycles. The proportions of m.3243A>G heteroplasmy were 62% (muscle), 14% (saliva), 6% (blood leukocytes) and 3% in hair root. Quantitative analysis of heteroplasmy showed marked variations in different tissues (highest in muscle and lowest in blood). Given the relatively high heteroplasmy found in saliva, this type of biological sample may represent an adequate non-invasive way for assessing the presence of m.3243A>G mutations in epidemiologic studies.

Johns Hopkins Genomics, Johns Hopkins University RCV000010206 SCV002051777 pathogenic Juvenile myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis AND stroke 2021-11-23 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This MT-TL1 variant (rs199474657) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD: 6/56383 total alleles; AF(het)=0.011%); AF(hom)=0.00%) and has been reported in ClinVar and MITOMAP. It is the most common cause of MELAS accounting for about 80 percent of all MELAS cases. m.3243A>G is associated with diverse clinical manifestations (i.e., progressive external ophthalmoplegia, diabetes mellitus, cardiomyopathy, deafness) that collectively constitute a wide phenotypic spectrum ranging from MELAS at the severe end to asymptomatic carrier status at the other end. Factors including random mitochondrial segregation and consequent variable tissue heteroplasmy contribute to the much broader phenotypic spectrum associated with this variant. This MT-TL1 variant results in an A>G change in the D-loop domain of the tRNA, which leads to reduction of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-encoded proteins and oxidative phosphorylation activity. The proportion of m.3243A>G heteroplasmy detected in this patient sample (saliva) was 33.3%. We consider this variant to be pathogenic.

3billion RCV002250458 SCV002521380 likely pathogenic Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, mitochondrial form, 1 2022-05-22 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing It is observed in the gnomAD v3.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/) dataset at heteroplasmic allele frequency of 0.011% and is absent as homoplasmy allele. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (mitoTIP: 58.80>=50; HmtVAR: 1>0.35). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (Mitomap PubMed: 2102678, Clinvar ID : VCV000009589.18, PMID: 32554818, 27296531). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.

Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute RCV000010206 SCV003921833 pathogenic Juvenile myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis AND stroke criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing - This variant is predicted to result in a nucleotide change from adenine to guanine. - The adenine at this position has high conservation (MITOMASTER). In silico predictions for this variant are consistently pathogenic (MitoTIP, PON-tRNA). - This variant has been previously described as pathogenic in many unrelated individuals with phenotypes including mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS), maternally inherited diabetes and deafness, and progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PMIDs: 11571698 and 23355809). The heteroplasmy level of the variant is correlated with disease burden and progression, where individuals with high heteroplasmy levels tend to have higher disease burden and rate of progression (PMID: 29735722). - Functional studies showed that the variant has a deleterious effect on tRNA structure and function and that this causes defective mitochondrial protein synthesis and reduced mitochondrial energy generation (PMIDs: 10858457, 12101407, 15477592 and 25192935). Additional information: - This variant is heteroplasmic (12.9%). - This gene encodes a mitochondrial tRNA (Leu (UUR)). - This variant is located in the D-loop of the tRNA. - This variant is present in the MITOMAP population database at a frequency of 0.02%. - Inheritance information for this variant is currently unknown. It is not detected in the maternal blood sample (21W001101).
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV000495738 SCV004101341 pathogenic Mitochondrial disease 2023-08-14 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The MT-TL1 m.3243A>G mitochondrial variant has been reported in the literature in a heteroplasmic state in at least 16 individuals with primary mitochondrial disease and is found in approximately 80% of individuals with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) (PMID: 2102678; 2268345; 1715668; 1732728; 27296531; 20301411). The level of heteroplasmy of this variant shows a significant correlation with the clinical signs and symptoms observed in patients and the severity of the clinical presentation (PMID: 27296531). The variant has been identified in a confirmed de novo state in at least four individuals with primary mitochondrial disease (PMID: 27331024; 11168879; 8926502). Cybrid studies support the functional impact of this variant (PMID: 1732728). Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest the variant may have a deleterious effect on gene function. Based on the available evidence, the m.3243A>G variant is classified as pathogenic for primary mitochondrial disease.
