GeneDx RCV000417387 SCV000211422 likely benign not specified 2018-01-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease.
Ambry Genetics RCV000160763 SCV000214342 likely benign Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2018-06-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000417387 SCV000917803 likely benign not specified 2023-04-18 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: MUTYH c.1118C>T (p.Ala373Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the MutY, C-terminal domain (IPR029119) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0004 in 250664 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0046 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The frequency within the East Asian subpopulation is equal to the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MUTYH causing MUTYH-Associated Polyposis (0.0046). In addition, the variant was found at an even higher frequency of 0.0091 in Japanese controls in the HGVD-Kyoto database, suggesting that this variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in individuals of East Asian ethnicity. c.1118C>T has been reported in affected individuals in the literature, including at least one occurrence in an individual presenting with colorectal polyposis, who was homozygous for both the variant of interest, but also the likely pathogenic variant p.G272E (Yanaru-Fujisawa_2008). Cosegregation studies associating the variant of interest with disease have not, to our knowledge, been performed. Additionally, a case-control study showed the variant at a similar frequency in cases compared to controls, showing the variant to not be associated with colorectal cancer risk in the Japanese cohort (Fujita_2020). The reports in patients in the literature do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with MUTYH-Associated Polyposis. At least two publications report experimental evidence indicating that the variant does not significantly affect DNA-glycosylase activity (e.g. Goto_2010, Yanaru-Fujisawa_2008). Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 with conflicting assessments (benign/likely benign, n=9; uncertain significance, n=2; pathogenic, n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV000123139 SCV000592708 likely benign Familial adenomatous polyposis 2 no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The MUTYH p.Ala373Val variant was identified in 4 of 256 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.016) from Japanese or Korean individuals or families with adenomatous polyposis, and was identified in 4 of 192 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.021) from healthy individuals (Kim 2007; Yanaru-Fujisawa 2008); however, an insufficient number of controls were included in these studies to determine the frequency of this variant in the general population. Functional studies assessing glycosylase activity of the MUTYH protein showed that the p.Ala373Val variant retained its activity (Goto 2010, Yanaru-Fujisawa 2008). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (rs35352891) “With allele of uncertain significance”, with a minor allele frequency of 0.001(1000 Genomes Project), HGMD, and the ClinVar database (as a variant of unknown significance). The p.Ala373 residue is conserved in mammals; however, computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein and this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as predicted benign.
