Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV001193327 SCV001362078 pathogenic Methylmalonic acidemia 2019-08-05 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: MUT c.1481T>A (p.Leu494X) 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 (e.g. p.Arg511X, p.Ala732fsX6). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250250 control chromosomes. c.1481T>A has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Methylmalonic Acidemia (e.g. Sakamoto_2007, Imataka_2013). 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. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and both of them classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
Invitae RCV001380235 SCV001578225 pathogenic not provided 2023-09-26 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551275). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with methylmalonic acidemia (PMID: 16490061, 23479330). This variant is present in population databases (rs764173488, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu494*) in the MUT gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MUT are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15781192).
