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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 1-12001506-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-12001506-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 637744.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr1-12001506-G-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 637744). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 21715711). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu308*) in the MFN2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MFN2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16714318, 16835246, 21715711, 23781337, 26955893). -
