Genes affected

NF1 (HGNC:7765): (neurofibromin 1) This gene product appears to function as a negative regulator of the ras signal transduction pathway. Mutations in this gene have been linked to neurofibromatosis type 1, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and Watson syndrome. The mRNA for this gene is subject to RNA editing (CGA>UGA->Arg1306Term) resulting in premature translation termination. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have also been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.009859155 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 8.7, offset of 2, new splice context is: gaatatcttttctgttacAGaat. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-31159009-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-31159009-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 547564.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr17-31159009-G-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 2 of the NF1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in NF1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10712197, 23913538). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMID: 23913538, 25541118). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 547564). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 23913538). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
