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]

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000237514). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg461*) in the NF1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. 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). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMID: 10712197, 10862084, 16944272, 23668869). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237514). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The NF1 c.1381C>T; p.Arg461Ter variant (rs878853865) is reported in the literature in several individuals affected with neurofibromatosis type 1 (Fahsold 2000, Stewart 2008). This variant is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Fahsold R et al. Minor lesion mutational spectrum of the entire NF1 gene does not explain its high mutability but points to a functional domain upstream of the GAP-related domain. Am J Hum Genet. 2000 66(3):790-818.

The NF1 c.1381C>T (p.Arg461*) variant causes the premature termination of NF1 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) (PMID: 10712197 (2000), 10862084 (2000), 16944272 (2007), 23668869 (2013), 24789688 (2014), 33877690 (2021)), and breast cancer (PMID: 33471991 (2021)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The NF1 c.1381C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg461*). This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with neurofibromatosis (see for examples Fahsold et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10712197; Giugliano et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31370276). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Nonsense variants in NF1 are expected to be pathogenic, and this variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple independent submitters to the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/237514/). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The p.R461* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1381C>T), located in coding exon 12 of the NF1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1381. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 12. This mutation has been detected in multiple individuals who satisfy NIH diagnostic criteria for NF1 (FahsoldR, et al.Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2000;66(3):790-818;Griffiths S, et al. Fam. Cancer 2007;6(1):21-34;Ko JM, et al.Pediatr.Neurol. 2013;48(6):447-53;JeongSY, et al. J. Korean Med. Sci. 2006;21(1):107-12;MessiaenLM, et al.Hum.Mutat. 2000;15(6):541-55).In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, since premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -
