Description

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 363 of the MTHFR protein (p.Arg363His). This variant is present in population databases (rs786204023, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency (PMID: 25736335). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187889). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MTHFR function (PMID: 27743313). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
