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]

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Feb 24, 2021
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.563C>A (p.A188E) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the NF1 gene. This alteration results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 563, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 188 to be replaced by a glutamic acid (E). The in silico prediction for the p.A188E alteration is inconclusive. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Neurofibromatosis, type 1 Uncertain:1
Oct 07, 2022
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NF1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 188 of the NF1 protein (p.Ala188Glu). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1319350). 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. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt NF1 protein function. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome;CN230736:Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
May 16, 2025
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.A188E variant (also known as c.563C>A), located in coding exon 5 of the NF1 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 563. The alanine at codon 188 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
