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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 22-29642270-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-29642270-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 412201.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr144*) in the NF2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NF2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9643284, 16983642). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with NF2-associated tumors (PMID: 18033041). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 412201). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
