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]

Variant summary: NF1 c.1976G>A (p.Arg659Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00047 in 251032 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 2.3 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in NF1 causing Neurofibromatosis Type 1 phenotype (0.00021), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1976G>A in individuals affected with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (Benign, n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

p.Arg659Gln in exon 17 of NF1: This variant is classified as benign because it h as been identified in 0.4% (106/25762) of Finnish chromosomes by the Genome Aggr egation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs151138158). ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BA1. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R659Q variant (also known as c.1976G>A), located in coding exon 17 of the NF1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1976. The arginine at codon 659 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was previously reported in the SNPDatabase as rs151138158. Based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, the A allele has an overall frequency of approximately 0.05% (1/2098) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.54% (1/186) Finnish alleles. Based on data from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), the A allele has an overall frequency of approximately 0.01% (1/13006) total alleles studied, having been observed in0.01% (1/8600) European American alleles. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.005% (greater than 110000alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be possibly damaging by PolyPhen but tolerated by SIFT in silico analyses. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of p.R659Q remains unclear. -

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
