Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PM2 PP2 PP3_Moderate

The NM_006158.5(NEFL):​c.755C>G​(p.Pro252Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000205 in 1,461,166 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P252L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 19 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 5 curated benign missense variants. Trascript score misZ: 0.63774 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B5, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2E, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1F.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.863
