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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 20 of the NF1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in NF1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10712197, 23913538). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMID: 16835897). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.2409+2T>C intronic variant results from a T to C substitution two nucleotide after coding exon 20 of the NF1 gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; however, +2T>C alterations are capable of generating wild-type transcripts in some genomic contexts and should be interpreted with caution (Lin, 2019). Based on data from gnomAD, the frequency for this variant is above the maximum credible frequency for a disease-causing variant in this gene based on internally established thresholds (Karczewski, 2020; Whiffin, 2017). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in an incomplete splice defect; the clinical impact of this abnormal splicing is unknown at this time (Ambry internal data). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
