Genes affected
NEFL (HGNC:7739): (neurofilament light chain) Neurofilaments are type IV intermediate filament heteropolymers composed of light, medium, and heavy chains. Neurofilaments comprise the axoskeleton and they functionally maintain the neuronal caliber. They may also play a role in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. This gene encodes the light chain neurofilament protein. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease types 1F (CMT1F) and 2E (CMT2E), disorders of the peripheral nervous system that are characterized by distinct neuropathies. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome Y. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
MIR6841 (HGNC:50070): (microRNA 6841) microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

PVS1
Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.227 CDS is truncated, and there are 3 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 8-24953704-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-24953704-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 192322.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr8-24953704-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg421*) in the NEFL gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NEFL are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19158810, 20039262). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 192322). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 25614874, 32376792). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -
