This variant is denoted NF1 c.1845G>T at the cDNA level. Located at the last nucleotide of exon 16, it disrupts a natural splice site and causes abnormal splicing. Studies have demonstrated that this variant results in skipping of exon 16 (referred to as exon 12a in published reports) and/or exons 15 and 16 (exons 11 and 12a) (Pros 2008, Sabbagh 2013). This variant has been observed in several individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (Pros 2008, Onitilo 2013, Sabbagh 2013, Duat Rodriguez 2015, Santoro 2017). Although the substitution results in the change of a Lysine to an Asparagine at codon 615 and is called p.Lys615Asn (K615N) in the literature, we are only using the nucleotide nomenclature to refer to the variant since the defect is determined to be one of splicing rather than a resulting missense variant. NF1 c.1845G>T was not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). In silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. Based on currently available evidence, we consider NF1 Lys615Asn to be a likely pathogenic variant. -
Neurofibromatosis, type 1 Pathogenic:1
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this missense change results in skipping of exon 16 and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 18546366). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 428956). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMID: 18546366, 23322702, 25541118, 28422438, 29673180). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 615 of the NF1 protein (p.Lys615Asn). RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -

This pathogenic mutation results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1845. The amino acid change results in lysine to asparagine at codon 615, an amino acid with similar properties. However, this change occurs in the last base pair of exon 16 which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing.This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In one study, this mutation wasclassifiedas a type I splicesite mutation affecting the canonical 3'splice site based on mRNA functional studies, which ultimately showed that the mutation resulted inan out of frame deletion causing exon 16 to be skipped (Pros E, Hum. Mutat. 2008 Sep; 29(9):E173-93).In a seperate publication, this mutation was seenin anindividual fromthe french NF1 cohort who was clinically diagnosed with NF1.
