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]

Variant summary: NF1 c.3113+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing and loss of NF1 function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: four predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. At least one publication reported experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing, demonstrating that the variant results in in-frame skipping of the neighboring exon 23 (Purandare_1995). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250808 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.3113+1G>A, has been observed in individuals affected with Neurofibromatosis Type 1, including both familial- and de novo occurrences (e.g. Purandare_1995, Zhu_2019). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 7633431, 31533797). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 345). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 23 of the NF1 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs267606599, gnomAD 0.003%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with neurofibromatosis, type 1 (PMID: 16944272, 18484666, 25293717, 26962827, 26969325). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 345). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 23, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 7633431). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Canonical splice site variant demonstrated to result in abnormal splicing leading to an in-frame deletion of a critical region (Purandare 1995); A different nucleotide change at this same canonical splice site (c.3113+1G>T) has been reported as pathogenic in ClinVar and at GeneDx (ClinVar SCV# SCV000253824.3; Landrum 2016); Also known as IVS18+1G>A; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 10712197, 25293717, 7633431, 16944272, 23913538, 26969325, 26962827, 18484666, 31370276, 31776437, 31533797) -

The NF1 c.3113+1G>A variant (rs267606599), also known as IVS18+1G>A in legacy nomenclature, is reported in the literature in several individuals affected with neurofibromatosis type 1 (Griffiths 2007, Kang 2020, Pros 2020). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 345). This variant is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant disrupts the canonical splice donor site of intron 23, and functional analyses of the variant protein show this variant leads to skipping of exon 23 (Upadhyaya 2008, Purandare 1995). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Griffiths S et al. Molecular diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 1: 2 years experience.

The NF1 c.3113+1G>A variant is predicted to disrupt the GT donor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant has been reported in multiple unrelated individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (see for example - Upadhyaya et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18484666; Table S1 - Pros et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18546366). Splicing studies found this variant results in skipping of exon 18 which is predicted to result in an inframe deletion (Table S1 - Pros et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18546366). This variant is reported in 0.0029% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice donor site in NF1 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The c.3113+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 23 of the NF1 gene. This mutation has been detected in multiple individuals who fulfilled diagnostic criteria for neurofibromatosis type 1 (Upadhyaya M et al. Hum. Mutat., 2008 Aug;29:E103-11; Thomas L et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2012 Apr;20:411-9; Emmerich D et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2015 Jun;23:870-3; Hutter S et al. Hum. Genet., 2016 May;135:469-75). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, RNA studies have demonstrated that the alteration results in skipping of exon 23, leading to an in-frame deletion in a region critical to protein function (Purandare SM et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 1995 Apr;4:767-8; Ars E et al. J. Med. Genet., 2003 Jun;40:e82; Pros E et al. Hum. Mutat., 2008 Sep;29:E173-93; Ambry internal data). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
