Genes affected

NF2 (HGNC:7773): (NF2, moesin-ezrin-radixin like (MERLIN) tumor suppressor) This gene encodes a protein that is similar to some members of the ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin) family of proteins that link cytoskeletal components with proteins in the cell membrane. The encoded protein is involved in regulation of contact-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation and functions in cell-cell adhesion and transmembrane signaling. The encoded protein has been shown to interact with cell-surface proteins, proteins involved in cytoskeletal dynamics, and proteins involved in regulating ion transport. Disruption of this protein's function has been implicated in tumorigenesis and metastasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with neurofibromatosis type II which is characterized by nervous system and skin tumors and ocular abnormalities. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.-4_-3delCGinsAA variant, located in in the 5' untranslated region (5’UTR) of the NF2 gene, results from the deletion of two nucleotides (CG) and the insertion of two nucleotides (AA) at nucleotide positions -4 to -3. This nucleotide region is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
