NM_006158.5:c.968G>A

Variant names:

Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 5P and 1B. PM1PM5PP2BP4

The NM_006158.5(NEFL):c.968G>A(p.Arg323Gln) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000372 in 1,613,472 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign 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. R323P) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.

PM1

In a region_of_interest Coil 2B (size 115) in uniprot entity NFL_HUMAN there are 9 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (90%) in NM_006158.5

PM5

Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr8-24955548-C-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 220372.

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.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.35600418).
