Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3

The NM_014874.4(MFN2):​c.2227A>C​(p.Ser743Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as Uncertain significancein ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S743G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

MFN2 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 10 uncertain in NM_014874.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), MFN2. . Gene score misZ 1.6575 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 3.2174 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2, axonal hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type 6, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, autosomal recessive, type 2a2b;, multiple symmetric lipomatosis, severe early-onset axonal neuropathy due to MFN2 deficiency.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.788

clinical testing

Athena Diagnostics

Jul 05, 2024

Available data are insufficient to determine the clinical significance of the variant at this time. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations. (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) This variant has been identified in at least one individual tested at Athena Diagnostics with clinical features associated with this gene. Polyphen and MutationTaster yielded discordant predictions regarding whether this amino acid change is damaging to the protein. -
