Genes affected

NEFL (HGNC:7739): (neurofilament light chain) Neurofilaments are type IV intermediate filament heteropolymers composed of light, medium, and heavy chains. Neurofilaments comprise the axoskeleton and they functionally maintain the neuronal caliber. They may also play a role in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. This gene encodes the light chain neurofilament protein. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease types 1F (CMT1F) and 2E (CMT2E), disorders of the peripheral nervous system that are characterized by distinct neuropathies. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome Y. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jul 29, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 396 of the NEFL protein (p.Glu396Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) (PMID: 14733962, 17052987, 19158810, 22206013, 24887401, 25877835, 26109717, 27549087). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.Glu397Lys. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 66671). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt NEFL protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects NEFL function (PMID: 21493625, 22288874). -
