Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PS3 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001002755.4(NFU1):​c.622G>T​(p.Gly208Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000675 in 1,613,872 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 (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV001984858: Functional studies showed absence of protein-bound lipoic acid in fibroblasts from individuals with this variant in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state, and decreased levels of lipoic acid in muscle biopsies from these individuals (PMID:22077971, 23179554)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar.

Genes affected

NFU1 (HGNC:16287): (NFU1 iron-sulfur cluster scaffold) This gene encodes a protein that is localized to mitochondria and plays a critical role in iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis. The encoded protein assembles and transfers 4Fe-4S clusters to target apoproteins including succinate dehydrogenase and lipoic acid synthase. Mutations in this gene are a cause of multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome-1, and pseudogenes of this gene are located on the short arms of chromosomes 1 and 3. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points.

• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV001984858: Functional studies showed absence of protein-bound lipoic acid in fibroblasts from individuals with this variant in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state, and decreased levels of lipoic acid in muscle biopsies from these individuals (PMID: 22077971, 23179554).; SCV002243592: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects NFU1 function (PMID: 22077971, 28161430, 31461310).; SCV000329903: "In vitro functional studies in yeast showed that NFU1 protein with the G208C variant is functionally impaired (Navarro-Sastre et al., 2011), and protein expression profiles were impaired in fibroblasts from patients who are homozygous or compound heterozygous for the G208C variant (Ferrer-Corts et al., 2013)."; SCV004115995: "In vitro functional studies suggest that this variant impairs the transfer of Fe-S clusters to target apoproteins, and causes defects in the lipoic acid biosynthesis and complex II pathways (Ferrer-Cortès et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23179554; Lebigot et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28803783; Wachnowsky et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28161430)."
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.943
• PP5: Variant 2-69400462-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-69400462-C-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 30700.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
