Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 5P and 1B. PM1 PM2 PP2 BP4

The NM_001042492.3(NF1):c.592G>A(p.Ala198Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000205 in 1,460,900 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A198E) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 14 uncertain in NM_001042492.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, NF1
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.32861555).

Neurofibromatosis, type 1 Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genome-Nilou Lab	Mar 15, 2022	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 06, 2024	This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 198 of the NF1 protein (p.Ala198Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NF1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 527485). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on NF1 protein function. 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. -

The NF1 c.592G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala198Thr. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

The p.A198T variant (also known as c.592G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the NF1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 592. The alanine at codon 198 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
