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]

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000230389 / PMID: 10712197). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2237*) in the NF1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NF1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10712197, 23913538). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMID: 10712197, 10862084, 12552569, 16479075, 23913538, 26962827). This variant is also known as R2258X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 230389). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The NF1 c.6772C>T; p.Arg2258Ter variant (rs876658541, ClinVar Variation ID: 230389), also known as c.6709C>T p.Arg2237Ter for NM_000267.3, is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with neurofibromatosis type 1 (De Luca 2003, Fahsold 2000, Jeong 2006, Messiaen 2000, Sabbagh 2013, Zhu 2016). This variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: De Luca A et al. NF1 gene analysis based on DHPLC. Hum Mutat. 2003 Feb;21(2):171-2.

The NF1 c.6772C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg2258*). This variant has been reported in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (referred to as R2237X in Fahsold et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10712197; Zhu et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26962827). At PreventionGenetics, this variant has been identified in other affected patients. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/230389/). Nonsense variants in NF1 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The c.6709C>T (p.R2237*) alteration, located in exon 44 (coding exon 44) of the NF1 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 6709. This changes the amino acid from a arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 2237. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration has been described in multiple individuals meeting NIH diagnostic criteria for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) (Fahsold, 2000; Xu, 2014; Zhu, 2016). This alteration is a recurring mutation due to its location in a CpG dinucleotide. Of note, this mutation is also designated as c.67772C>T and p.R2258* in published literature. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 45. This alteration was first described in three unrelated individuals who all met NIH diagnostic criteria forneurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) (Fahsold R et al.Am J Hum Genet.2000;66(3):790-818). This alteration is a recurring mutation due to being located in a CpG dinucleotide. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, since premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations.
