Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2 BP4_Strong

The NM_001042492.3(NF1):c.6922-3C>T variant causes a splice region, splice polypyrimidine tract, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000205 in 1,461,862 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar 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

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.54).

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genome-Nilou Lab	Mar 15, 2022	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Feb 18, 2022	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. 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 is not likely to affect RNA splicing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231907). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NF1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 45 of the NF1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the NF1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -

The c.6922-3C>T intronic variant results from a C to T substitution 3 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 47 in the NF1 gene. 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 than55000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This nucleotide position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. Using two different splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted by ESEfinder to weaken the efficacy of the native acceptor splice site, but is not predicted to have a deleterious effect on this acceptorsplice site by BDGP; however, direct evidence is unavailable.<span style="color:rgb(54, 43, 54); font-family:arial,sans-serif">Since supporting evidence for this variant is limited at this time, the clinical significance ofc.6922-3C>Tremains unclear. -
