Genes affected

NF1 (HGNC:7765): (neurofibromin 1) This gene product appears to function as a negative regulator of the ras signal transduction pathway. Mutations in this gene have been linked to neurofibromatosis type 1, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and Watson syndrome. The mRNA for this gene is subject to RNA editing (CGA>UGA->Arg1306Term) resulting in premature translation termination. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have also been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

Gly848Gly in exon 21 of NF1: This variant is not expected to have clinical signi ficance because it does not alter an amino acid residue and is not located withi n the splice consensus sequence. It has been identified in 7.5% (330/4406) of Af rican American chromosomes from a broad population by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS; dbSNP rs17883704). -

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Variant summary: The NF1 c.2544G>A (p.Gly848Gly) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. One in silico tool predicts a polymorphism outcome for this variant. 3/5 splice prediction tools predict the gain of a splice acceptor site, however these predictions have not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in 863/120350 control chromosomes (44 homozygotes), predominantly observed in the African, subpopulation at a frequency of 0.078416 (800/10202). This frequency is about 376 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic NF1 variant (0.0002084), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of African origin. In addition, one clinical diagnostic laboratories has classified this variant as benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -
