Ambry Genetics | RCV000223520 | SCV000275856 | likely pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2015-05-17 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.1518+1G>T intronic variant results from a G to T substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 15 of the MUTYH gene. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.001% (greater than 75000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to abolish the native donor splice site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. |

RCV000223520 | SCV001340253 | likely pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2020-10-01 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant causes a G to T nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 15 of the MUTYH gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact 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 hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MUTYH function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. |

RCV001242171 | SCV001415241 | pathogenic | Familial adenomatous polyposis 2 | 2023-09-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 15 of the MUTYH gene. While this variant is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it likely alters RNA splicing and results in a disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with MUTYH-associated polyposis who also carried a second pathogenic variant in the MUTYH gene (PMID: 16557584, 18515411). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231877). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant disrupts the conserved PCNA binding motif of the MUTYH protein, which has been shown to be critical for MUTYH-PCNA binding and repair efficiency (PMID: 11092888, 26377631, 11433026, 11864576). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect of this variant on MUTYH protein function, this suggests that disruption of this region of the protein is causative of disease. This variant disrupts a region of the MUTYH protein in which other variant(s) (p.Cys517*) have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |

RCV001242171 | SCV004825610 | likely pathogenic | Familial adenomatous polyposis 2 | 2023-05-15 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant disrupts a canonical splice site and is predicted to result in abnormal splicing. Aberrant splicing and/or loss of function is an established mechanism of disease. This prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant is absent from or rare in large population databases, including the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). To date, this variant has not been published in association with human disease. |
