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]

This sequence change replaces arginine with leucine at codon 259 of the MFN2 protein (p.Arg259Leu). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and leucine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg259 amino acid residue in MFN2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with MFN2-related conditions (PMID: 25957633, 24450158, 22492563, 24863639, 24627108), suggesting that it is a clinically significant residue. As a result, variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be causative of 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 disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has been observed to be de novo in an individual affected with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 19350291). -
