Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Moderate PP5_Moderate

The NM_014874.4(MFN2):​c.479T>G​(p.Val160Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V160A) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 13 uncertain in NM_014874.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the MFN2 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 123 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 23 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.6575 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.2174 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2, axonal hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type 6, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, autosomal recessive, type 2a2b;, multiple symmetric lipomatosis, severe early-onset axonal neuropathy due to MFN2 deficiency.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.927
• PP5: Variant 1-11997301-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-11997301-T-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 243073.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
