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]

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 22 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). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with neurofibromatosis type-1 (PMID: 17311297; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 431613). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The NF1 c.2990+1G>A variant disrupts a canonical splice-donor site and is predicted to interfere with normal NF1 mRNA splicing. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMIDs: 23913538 (2013), 17311297 (2007)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.2990+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 22 of the NF1 gene. This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with neurofibromatosis type 1 (Wimmer K et al. Hum Mutat, 2007 Jun;28:599-612; Ambry internal data). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing (Wimmer K et al. Hum Mutat, 2007 Jun;28:599-612; Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
