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]

The c.3748C>A variant (also known as p.R1250R), located in coding exon 28 of the NF1 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 3748. This nucleotide substitution does not change the arginine at codon 1250. This variant was detected in a child under the age of two with several features suggestive of NF1. In addition, this variant was predicted at the mRNA level to have an impact on splicing, producing a transcript with an out of frame deletion (r.3709_3749del41) resulting in a reading frameshift and premature stop codon (Bianchessi D, et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med 2015; 3(6):513-25). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be 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. Studies have shown that this variant results in activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 26740943). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1734525). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of neurofibromatosis type 1 and/or neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMID: 26740943; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects codon 1250 of the NF1 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the NF1 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
