Genes affected
NOTCH3 (HGNC:7883): (notch receptor 3) This gene encodes the third discovered human homologue of the Drosophilia melanogaster type I membrane protein notch. In Drosophilia, notch interaction with its cell-bound ligands (delta, serrate) establishes an intercellular signalling pathway that plays a key role in neural development. Homologues of the notch-ligands have also been identified in human, but precise interactions between these ligands and the human notch homologues remains to be determined. Mutations in NOTCH3 have been identified as the underlying cause of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL).

The NOTCH3 c.268C>T; p.Arg90Cys variant (rs1555729604; ClinVar ID: 447816) is reported in numerous individuals and families affected with CADASIL and exhibits co-segregation with disease in several published kindreds (Gallardo 2020, Joutel 1997, Lackovic 2012, Lian 2013, Utku 2002). This variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.751). Functional studies of the variant protein demonstrate reduced cell viability and aberrant NOTCH3 proteolytic processing in oligodendrocytes, and enhanced cortical susceptibility to spreading depression in mice (Eikermann-Haerter 2011, Tang 2017). Most pathogenic NOTCH3 variants occur in exons 2-24 and either create or destroy a cysteine residue within an EGF-like domain (Rutten 2014), and thus the p.Arg90Cys variant is consistent with the predominant mechanism of disease in NOTCH3. Based on available information, this variant is considered pathogenic. References: Eikermann-Haerter K et al.

This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with clinical features associated with CADASIL. This variant was not reported in large, multi-ethnic, general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant alters a critical location within the protein, and is expected to severely affect function and cause disease. Greater than 90% of NOTCH3 pathogenic variants associated with CADASIL involve the gain or loss of a cysteine residue within the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeat domain (PMID: 32457593, 20301673). -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 90 of the NOTCH3 protein (p.Arg90Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant cerebral arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy 1 (PMID: 9388399, 11784372, 23064698, 31813735). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447816). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt NOTCH3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects NOTCH3 function (PMID: 14714274, 21387384, 23028706, 28601945). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: NOTCH3 c.268C>T (p.Arg90Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 246118 control chromosomes. c.268C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Cerebral arteriopathy, autosomal dominant, with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, type 1 (e.g. Peters_2005, Joutel_1997). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Multiple publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in reduced cell viability and aberrant NOTCH3 proteolytic processing in oligodentrocytes, as well as increased susceptibility to cortical spreading depression in mice (e.g. Eikermann-Haerter_2011, Tang_2017). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21387384, 9388399, 16009764, 28601945). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447816). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
