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]

Variant summary: NF1 c.3502G>C (p.Gly1168Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251348 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.3502G>C has been observed to segregate with features of Neurofibromatosis Type 1 in individuals with a personal/family history of disease tested at our laboratory (internal data). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.3502G>C in individuals affected with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237550). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237550). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with neurofibromatosis type 1 (Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1168 of the NF1 protein (p.Gly1168Arg). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The p.G1168R variant (also known as c.3502G>C), located in coding exon 27 of the NF1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 3502. The glycine at codon 1168 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.002% (greater than 110000alleles tested) in our clinical cohort.This variant was detected in individuals meeting diagnostic criteria for Neurofibromatosis type 1(Ambryinternal data).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.
