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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-31229979-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-31229979-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 3237709.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr17-31229979-G-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.28). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.

The c.2990+5G>C intronic variant results from a G to C substitution 5 nucleotides after coding exon 22 in the NF1 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration was detected in individuals meeting diagnostic criteria for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) (Bianchessi D et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2015 Nov;3:513-25; Melloni G et al. Cancers (Basel), 2019 Nov;11). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may weaken the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). Another alteration impacting the same donor site (c.2990+5G>A) has been detected in individuals with NF1 (Wimmer K et al. Hum Mutat, 2007 Jun;28:599-612). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
