Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 7P and 2B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 BP4_Moderate

The NM_014874.4(MFN2):​c.2146G>T​(p.Ala716Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000031 in 1,614,064 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A716P) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 11 uncertain in NM_014874.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-12009668-G-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 214650.
• 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.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.118664056).
