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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.018661972 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.9, offset of 24, new splice context is: ttagccagcgtttccctcAGaac. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-31258342-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-31258342-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 481997.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr17-31258342-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 30 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). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMID: 16138229, 29673180). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with altered splicing resulting in unknown protein product (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 481997). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.4111-2A>G intronic pathogenic mutation results from an A to G substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 31 in the NF1 gene. This mutation has been detected in multiple individuals with a clinical diagnosis or suspicion of neurofibromatosis type 1 (Kluwe L et al. Am J Med Genet A, 2021 02;185:602-603; Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). 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. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
