Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000435.3(NOTCH3):c.437G>A(p.Cys146Tyr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,459,448 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C146R) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

The NOTCH3 c.437G>A; p.Cys146Tyr variant (rs1236699193, ClinVar Variation ID: 447849) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with CADASIL and co-segregates with disease in a large family (Fattapposta 2004, Malandrini 2002, Parisi 2003). This variant is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.96). Most pathogenic NOTCH3 variants occur in exons 2-24 and either create or destroy a cysteine residue within an EGF-like domain (Rutten 2014), and thus the p.Cys146Tyr variant is consistent with the predominant mechanism of disease in NOTCH3. Additionally, other amino acid substitutions at this codon (p.Cys146Arg, p.Cys146Trp) have been reported in individuals with CADASIL and are considered disease-causing (Mizuta 2017, Joutel 1997). Based on available information, the p.Cys146Tyr variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Fattapposta F et al.

This variant alters a critical location within the protein, and is expected to severely affect function and cause disease. The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity. (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) This variant has been identified in at least one individual with CADASIL. Greater than 90% of NOTCH3 pathogenic variants associated with CADASIL involve the gain or loss of a cysteine residue within the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeat domain (PMID: 32457593, 20301673). -
This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 146 of the NOTCH3 protein (p.Cys146Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant cerebral arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (PMID: 15776792). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447849). 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 NOTCH3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Cys146 amino acid residue in NOTCH3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9388399, 18948701, 20935329). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
