Description
The MUTYH c.348+11G>A variant was identified in 1 of 110 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families with lung cancer (Shinmura 2001). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs139977567) as With Uncertain significance allele, ClinVar (classified as benign by GeneDx; classified as uncertain significance by Illumina), Clinvitae, Insight Colon Cancer Gene Variant Database, databases. The variant was not identified in UMD-LSDB database. The variant was identified in control databases in 445 (8 homozygous) of 277170 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0016 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this 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 likely benign.
