Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_014874.4(MFN2):​c.674_680delTGGTGGC​(p.Leu225ProfsTer7) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L225L) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected

MFN2 (HGNC:16877): (mitofusin 2) This gene encodes a mitochondrial membrane protein that participates in mitochondrial fusion and contributes to the maintenance and operation of the mitochondrial network. This protein is involved in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, and it may play a role in the pathophysiology of obesity. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2, and hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy VI, which are both disorders of the peripheral nervous system. Defects in this gene have also been associated with early-onset stroke. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-11998841-TGCTGGTG-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-11998841-TGCTGGTG-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 408319.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 408319). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MFN2-related conditions. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu225Profs*7) in the MFN2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MFN2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16714318, 16835246, 21715711, 23781337, 26955893). -
