Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PS1_Very_Strong PM1 PP2 PP3

The NM_006158.5(NEFL):​c.1186_1188delGAGinsAAA​(p.Glu396Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type MNV, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Pathogenic in ClinVar.

Genes affected

NEFL (HGNC:7739): (neurofilament light chain) Neurofilaments are type IV intermediate filament heteropolymers composed of light, medium, and heavy chains. Neurofilaments comprise the axoskeleton and they functionally maintain the neuronal caliber. They may also play a role in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. This gene encodes the light chain neurofilament protein. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease types 1F (CMT1F) and 2E (CMT2E), disorders of the peripheral nervous system that are characterized by distinct neuropathies. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome Y. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

MIR6841 (HGNC:50070): (microRNA 6841) microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_006158.5 (NEFL) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar.
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 11 uncertain in NM_006158.5
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 19 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 5 curated benign missense variants. Trascript score misZ: 0.63774 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1F, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2E, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B5.
• PP3: No computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, but strongly conserved according to phyloP
