Genes affected

NF2 (HGNC:7773): (NF2, moesin-ezrin-radixin like (MERLIN) tumor suppressor) This gene encodes a protein that is similar to some members of the ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin) family of proteins that link cytoskeletal components with proteins in the cell membrane. The encoded protein is involved in regulation of contact-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation and functions in cell-cell adhesion and transmembrane signaling. The encoded protein has been shown to interact with cell-surface proteins, proteins involved in cytoskeletal dynamics, and proteins involved in regulating ion transport. Disruption of this protein's function has been implicated in tumorigenesis and metastasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with neurofibromatosis type II which is characterized by nervous system and skin tumors and ocular abnormalities. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg187Asnfs*15) in the NF2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NF2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9643284, 16983642). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NF2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 547706). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
