Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4_StrongBP6BS2_Supporting

The NM_001042492.3(NF1):​c.5160G>T​(p.Glu1720Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000707 in 1,613,014 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Uncertain significance in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E1720Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.05738479).
BP6
Variant 17-31326144-G-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-31326144-G-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 231040.
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 6 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.

Previously reported in at least one individual with juvenile chronic myelogenous leukemia, without a personal history of Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1), and was also absent in 65 healthy controls (Watanabe 1998); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 9691142, 31305009, 26489445, 32566746, 30287823, 25486365, 2121369, 22807134, 26510091)

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.E1720D variant (also known as c.5160G>T), located in coding exon 37 of the NF1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 5160. The glutamic acid at codon 1720 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with highly similar 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 0.003% (greater than 110000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of p.E1720D remains unclear

Variant summary: NF1 c.5097G>T (p.Glu1699Asp) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the CRAL-TRIO lipid binding domain (IPR001251) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0007 in 297828 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publications), predominantly at a frequency of 0.0043 within the Japanese subpopulation (Momozawa_2018). The observed variant frequency within Japanese control individuals reported by Momozawa_2018 is approximately 5,700 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in NF1 causing Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia phenotype (7.5e-07), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Japanese origin. c.5097G>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia and breast cancer, all of them were of Japanese origin (Watanabe_1998, Momozawa_2018). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
