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]

Submissions by phenotype

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 Uncertain:1Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 05, 2023This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 60 of the MFN2 protein (p.Thr60Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs138345244, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal dominant MFN2-related conditions (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 246508). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MFN2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 07, 2023The c.179C>T (p.T60M) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 2) of the MFN2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 179, causing the threonine (T) at amino acid position 60 to be replaced by a methionine (M). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Optic atrophy Uncertain:1

not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 28, 2016The T60M variant has notbeen published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge.The T60M variant was not observed with any significant frequency in approximately 6,500individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project butthe 1000 Genomes Project reports T60M was observed in 2/1008 (0.02%) alleles from individuals ofEast Asian background. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. TheT60M variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondaryprotein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. However, insilico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to theprotein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclearwhether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
