Description
This missense variant replaces valine with phenylalanine at codon 246 of the MUTYH protein. This variant is also known as c.694G>T (p.Val232Phe) based on an alternative transcript (NM_001048171). Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies reported this variant protein exhibited partially defective glycosylase and DNA binding activity (PMID: 15673720) but showed conflicting results in E. coli complementation assays, from defective to wild-type activity (PMID: 15673720, 25820570). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with multiple adenomas or polyposis (PMID: 12606733, 19793053, 20687945). At least one of these individuals carried a second pathogenic MUTYH variant in the compound heterozygous state (PMID: 12606733) while another individual carried a MUTYH variant of uncertain significance in trans (PMID: 20687945). This variant has also been reported in individuals affected with colorectal cancer, including one individual who carried this variant in the homozygous state (PMID: 19531215; ClinVar SCV000186631.8). In addition, this variant has been observed in individuals affected with gastrointestinal/neuroendocrine tumors (PMID: 26556299), bilateral breast cancer (PMID: 24733792), unilateral breast cancer (PMID: 33471991, 35264596), and head neck squamous cell carcinoma (PMID: 34598035). This variant has been identified in 14/250286 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic.
