Genes affected

NEFH (HGNC:7737): (neurofilament heavy chain) Neurofilaments are type IV intermediate filament heteropolymers composed of light, medium, and heavy chains. Neurofilaments comprise the axoskeleton and functionally maintain neuronal caliber. They may also play a role in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. This gene encodes the heavy neurofilament protein. This protein is commonly used as a biomarker of neuronal damage and susceptibility to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been associated with mutations in this gene.

Variant summary: NEFH c.41dupC (p.Phe15ValfsX83) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic within (e.g. c.3057dup [p.Lys1020fs]). The nearest downstream in-frame initiation codon is at Met88. To our knowledge, there are no known pathogenic variants between Met1 and Met88. The variant was absent in 96690 control chromosomes (gnomAD). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.41dupC in individuals affected with Charcot-Marie Tooth Disease, Axonal, Type 2CC and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1878329). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NEFH-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe15Valfs*83) in the NEFH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in NEFH cause disease. -
