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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -5 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.061400205).
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 9 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

DNA sequence analysis of the NF1 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.3359T>C, in exon 26 that results in an amino acid change, p.Val1120Ala. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with NF1-related disorders and has been described in the gnomAD database with a low population frequency of 0.0014% (dbSNP rs751571517). The p.Val1120Ala change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the NF1 protein that is known to be functional. The p.Val1120Ala substitution appears to be possibly benign using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). Due to these contrasting evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Val1120Ala change remains unknown at this time.

The p.V1120A variant (also known as c.3359T>C), located in coding exon 26 of the NF1 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 3359. The valine at codon 1120 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
