Ambry Genetics RCV000129829 SCV000184645 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-05-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.R245C pathogenic mutation (also known as c.733C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the MUTYH gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 733. The arginine at codon 245 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This mutation has been detected in the homozygous state in both Japanese and Portuguese APC mutation-negative adenomatous polyposis patients (Miyaki M et al. Mutat. Res. 2005 Oct 15;578(1-2):430-3; Olschwang S et al. Genet Test. 2007 Fall;11(3):315-20). This alteration was also seen in conjunction with a second MUTYH mutation in a 37 yo female with a history of colon cancer and approximately 50 colon polyps (Ruggieri V et al. Oncogene, 2013 Sep;32:4500-8). Current evidence supports codon 245 as a functionally important mutation hotspot, with multiple other missense alterations having been described as pathogenic or deficient in critical protein function in the literature (Aceto G et al. Hum Mutat. 2005 Oct;26(4):394; Vogt S et al. Gastroenterology. 2009 Dec;137(6):1976-85.e1-10; Bai H et al. Cancer Lett. 2007 May 18;250(1):74-81). In addition, a functional assay showed that p.R245C, which exists in a highly conserved and catalytic domain, results in partially defective protein expression levels compared to wild-type (Komine K et al. Hum. Mutat., 2015 Jul;36:704-11). Of note, this mutation is also described as p.R231C in published literature. This alteration has been detected in conjunction with a second pathogenic MUTYH mutation in an adenomatous polyposis patient without any detectable APC mutation (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as a pathogenic mutation.
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000034678 SCV000285964 pathogenic Familial adenomatous polyposis 2 2023-11-21 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 245 of the MUTYH protein (p.Arg245Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs200495564, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial adenomatous polyposis and/or MUTYH-associated polyposis (PMID: 15890374, 17949294, 23108399). This variant is also known as c.691C>T (p.Arg231Cys). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41761). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MUTYH function (PMID: 23108399, 25820570). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000129829 SCV000685666 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-04-05 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 245 of the MUTYH protein. This variant is also known as c.691C>T (p.Arg231Cys) based on an alternative transcript (NM_001048171). Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have reported this variant to be non-functional in MUTYH glycosylase assay (PMID: 23108399) and complementation of MUTYH-deficient bacteria (PMID: 25820570). This variant has been observed as a homozygous variant and compound heterozygous variant with a pathogenic co-variant in individuals affected with colorectal cancer and/or multiple colorectal adenomas and polyps (PMID: 15890374, 17949294, 23108399, 34775073). This variant has also been identified in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 34026625). This variant has been identified in 14/250276 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000034678 SCV000697708 pathogenic Familial adenomatous polyposis 2 2021-02-05 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: MUTYH c.733C>T (p.Arg245Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the HhH-GPD domain (IPR003265) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.6e-05 in 250436 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication data). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in MUTYH causing MUTYH-Associated Polyposis (5.6e-05 vs 0.0046), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.733C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with adenomatous polyposis, either in homozygosity (Miyaki_2005, Olschwang_2007), or in compound heterozygosity with known- or likely pathogenic variants (Ruggieri_2013, Takao_2017, Furlan_2017). Functional studies indicated that the variant mildly diminishes RNA and protein expression, but completely abolishes DNA glycosylase activity (Ruggieri_2013), and partially impairs base excision repair (Komine_2015). Additionally, other variants at this amino acid position are reported in patients (p.Arg245His, p.Arg245Ser and p.Arg245Leu), suggesting this residue is critical for function. Seven ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic (n=6) and likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
