Genes affected

MFN2 (HGNC:16877): (mitofusin 2) This gene encodes a mitochondrial membrane protein that participates in mitochondrial fusion and contributes to the maintenance and operation of the mitochondrial network. This protein is involved in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, and it may play a role in the pathophysiology of obesity. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2, and hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy VI, which are both disorders of the peripheral nervous system. Defects in this gene have also been associated with early-onset stroke. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The c.-150+4 A>T variant has not been published as pathogenic, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals; however, Threonine is observed at this position in one other species. In silico analysis predicts that c.-150+4 A>T may damage the natural splice donor site in intron 1, leading to abnormal splicing. However, in the absence of RNA/functional studies the actual effect of this variant is unknown. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
