Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points: 6P and 1B. PM1 PM2 PM5 BP4

The NM_006158.5(NEFL):​c.64C>G​(p.Pro22Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P22L) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a region_of_interest Head (size 90) in uniprot entity NFL_HUMAN there are 25 pathogenic changes around while only 5 benign (83%) in NM_006158.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr8-24956452-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 14029.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.31160274).

This sequence change replaces proline with alanine at codon 22 of the NEFL protein (p.Pro22Ala). The proline residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between proline and alanine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with NEFL-related conditions. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
