Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 3P and 5B. PM1 PP3 BS1_Supporting BS2

The NM_000268.4(NF2):​c.1635A>T​(p.Glu545Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000205 in 1,461,882 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic 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. E545K) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

NF2 (HGNC:7773): (NF2, moesin-ezrin-radixin like (MERLIN) tumor suppressor) This gene encodes a protein that is similar to some members of the ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin) family of proteins that link cytoskeletal components with proteins in the cell membrane. The encoded protein is involved in regulation of contact-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation and functions in cell-cell adhesion and transmembrane signaling. The encoded protein has been shown to interact with cell-surface proteins, proteins involved in cytoskeletal dynamics, and proteins involved in regulating ion transport. Disruption of this protein's function has been implicated in tumorigenesis and metastasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with neurofibromatosis type II which is characterized by nervous system and skin tumors and ocular abnormalities. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a helix (size 34) in uniprot entity MERL_HUMAN there are 5 pathogenic changes around while only 2 benign (71%) in NM_000268.4
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.838
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000205 (30/1461882) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.000027 (30/1112006). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000191. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 18 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 30 AD gene.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Jun 08, 2023	This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with aspartic acid at codon 545 of the NF2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with NF2-related disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jul 28, 2023	This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NF2-related conditions. 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. 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 not expected to disrupt NF2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 435976). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 545 of the NF2 protein (p.Glu545Asp). -

The p.E545D variant (also known as c.1635A>T), located in coding exon 15 of the NF2 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 1635. The glutamic acid at codon 545 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. 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. -
