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]

Variant summary: NF1 c.3749G>A (p.Arg1250Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251346 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.3749G>A in individuals affected with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 233335). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis suggests that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; In silico analysis suggests this variant may impact gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; Has not been previously published as a germline pathogenic or benign variant in individual(s) with neurofibromatosis type 1 to our knowledge; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24476948, 33935721, 25486365, 22807134, 32697994, 39596103)

The c.3749G>A (p.R1250Q) alteration is located in exon 28 (coding exon 28) of the NF1 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3749, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 1250 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

The p.R1250Q variant (also known as c.3749G>A), located in coding exon 28 of the NF1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3749. The arginine at codon 1250 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration wasdetected in acohortof 30non-aneuploidfetuses and neonateswith diverse structural abnormalities first identified by prenatal ultrasound (CarssKJ et al.Hum Mol Genet. 2014 Jun 15;23(12):3269-77).This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.002% (greater than 55000alleles tested) in our clinical cohort.This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis.Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of p.R1250Qremains unclear.
