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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 7 uncertain in NM_014874.4
PP2
Missense variant in the MFN2 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 123 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 23 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.6575 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.2174 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, autosomal recessive, type 2a2b;, severe early-onset axonal neuropathy due to MFN2 deficiency, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type 6, axonal hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, multiple symmetric lipomatosis, neuropathy, hereditary motor and sensory, type 6A.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces threonine with alanine at codon 71 of the MFN2 protein (p.Thr71Ala). The threonine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between threonine and alanine. This variant is present in population databases (rs548809273, ExAC 0.001%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MFN2-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. 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. -
