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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 14 uncertain in NM_001042492.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, NF1
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.916

Neurofibromatosis, type 1 Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Sep 27, 2023	This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1491 of the NF1 protein (p.Trp1491Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NF1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237569). 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. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The p.W1491C variant (also known as c.4473G>C), located in coding exon 33 of the NF1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 4473. The tryptophan at codon 1491 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
