Genes affected

MFN2 (HGNC:16877): (mitofusin 2) This gene encodes a mitochondrial membrane protein that participates in mitochondrial fusion and contributes to the maintenance and operation of the mitochondrial network. This protein is involved in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, and it may play a role in the pathophysiology of obesity. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2, and hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy VI, which are both disorders of the peripheral nervous system. Defects in this gene have also been associated with early-onset stroke. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the last exon of the MFN2 mRNA at codon 752 (p.Tyr752*). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated MFN2 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). While this particular nucleotide change has not been reported in the literature, a different nucleotide change c.2256C>A causing the same p.Tyr752* truncation has been reported in a patient affected with CMT2A (PMID: 21508331). This variant is expected to interfere with MFN2 protein function because it disrupts a highly conserved coiled-coil region which is essential for tethering of mitochondria before fusion (PMID: 21508331). In summary, this sequence change is predicted to produce a truncated protein product which disrupts a highly conserved functional region of the MFN2 protein. While this variant is novel at the nucleotide level, the same protein truncation has been reported in a patient affected with CMT2A. For these reasons, it has been classified as Pathogenic. -
