Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_001042492.3(NF1):c.2339C>G(p.Thr780Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T780P) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

This missense change has been observed in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMID: 16786508, 16944272, 31370276; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 780 of the NF1 protein (p.Thr780Arg). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 457581). 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 expected to disrupt NF1 protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Thr780 amino acid residue in NF1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10712197, 11735023, 12552569, 15146469, 16944272, 26478990; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with features of neurofibromatosis type (Upadhyaya et al., 2006; Griffiths et al., 2007; Giugliano et al., 2019; Groopman et al., 2019; Hannah-Shmouni et al., 2022); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16944272, 25486365, 24803665, 31370276, 30586318, 35456261, 16786508) -

The p.T780R variant (also known as c.2339C>G), located in coding exon 20 of the NF1 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 2339. The threonine at codon 780 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been identified in multiple individuals with a clinical diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) (Upadhyaya M et al. Hum. Mutat., 2006 Jul;27:716; Griffiths S et al. Fam. Cancer, 2007;6:21-34; Giugliano T et al. Genes (Basel), 2019 07;10; Ambry internal data). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
