Description
The MUTYH p.Thr488= variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the GeneInsight-COGR, Cosmic, or UMD-LSDB, databases. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs373973053) as "With Likely benign allele ", and in ClinVar database (classified as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, Invitae, GeneDx, and Color Genomics). The variant was identified in control databases in 5 of 246234 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00002 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Latino in 3 of 33582 chromosomes (freq: 0.00009), European in 1 of 111694 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009), East Asian in 1 of 17248 chromosomes (freq: 0.00006), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Ashkenazi Jewish, Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.Thr488= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. 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.
