Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP3

The NM_000268.4(NF2):​c.401C>T​(p.Pro134Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic 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. P134S) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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

This sequence change replaces proline with leucine at codon 134 of the NF2 protein (p.Pro134Leu). The proline residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and leucine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with NF2-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. 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. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.P134L variant (also known as c.401C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the NF2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 401. The proline at codon 134 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
