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]

This sequence change affects codon 2252 of the NF1 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the NF1 protein. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 44, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMID: 31201679, 31776437; Invitae). This variant is also known as c.6819G>A (Exon 45). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 404594). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
