Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PS1 PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_014874.4(MFN2):c.285G>C(p.Arg95Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as Pathogenicin ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R95G) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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 13 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_014874.4 (MFN2) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar as 1455514
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 7 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 7 uncertain in NM_014874.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-11992662-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 408326.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, MFN2
• PP5: Variant 1-11992664-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-11992664-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 476770.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 95 of the MFN2 protein (p.Arg95Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (Invitae). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 476770). 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 MFN2 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg95 amino acid residue in MFN2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 30642740; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
