NOTCH3: PM1:Strong, PS4:Moderate -
This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1222 of the NOTCH3 protein (p.Cys1222Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs199638166, gnomAD 0.02%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with NOTCH3-related conditions or cognitively healthy elderly controls (PMID: 24840674, 26305465, 32573853, 32732295). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 425164). 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 NOTCH3 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. -
PP2, PM1, PM2 -
Available data are insufficient to determine the clinical significance of the variant at this time. This variant alters a critical location within the protein, and is expected to severely affect function and cause disease. The frequency of this variant in the general population is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) This variant is statistically significantly enriched in affected patients as compared to ethnically matched controls (PMID: 39271666). This variant has been seen where an alternate explanation for disease was also identified, suggesting this variant may not 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). -
The NOTCH3 c.3664T>G; p.Cys1222Gly variant (rs199638166, ClinVar Variation ID: 425164) is reported in the literature in several individuals and families with clinical features of CADASIL (Cho 2022, Juhosova 2023, Kilarski 2015, Moreton 2014, Ramirez 2020, Rutten 2020, Tan 2019). This variant was also found in a cognitively healthy 84-year-old control, with no history of stroke or other neurologic symptoms but did have subtle white matter hyperintensities (Rutten 2020). This variant is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.02% (28/128,560 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). Additionally, the p.Cys1222Gly variant was found in 212 Caucasian individuals in the UK biobank (Cho 2022). Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.524). Most pathogenic NOTCH3 variants occur in exons 2-24 and either create or destroy a cysteine residue within an EGF-like domain (Rutten 2014). However, due to conflicting information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. References: Cho BPH et al.

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as VUS-3A. Following criteria are met: 0105 - The mechanism of disease for this gene is not clearly established. Both loss of function and dominant negative have been suggested as mechanisms in CADASIL (MIM#125310), however lateral meningocele syndrome (MIM#130720) results from a gain of function (OMIM). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. The p.(Arg544Cys) variant is associated with a later age of onset and milder clinical features than other NOTCH3 variants (GeneReviews, PMID: 26308724). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from cysteine to glycine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2, v3) <0.001 for a dominant condition (42 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0602 - Variant is located in a hotspot region or cluster of pathogenic variants. This variant affects a cysteine residue involved in disulfide bonding (DECIPHER, PMID: 32732295). (SP) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0809 - Previous evidence of pathogenicity for this variant is inconclusive. This variant has been reported once as pathogenic, and more commonly as a VUS (ClinVar). It has been observed in at least three individuals with CADASIL (PMID: 24840674, PMID: 36401683), four individuals with Parkinsons disease or stroke (PMID: 26305465, PMID: 32573853, PMID: 31719132), and also in a healthy control with subtle white matter hyperintensities (PMID: 32732295). Lastly, this variant is highly prevalent in the UK Biobank cohort (PMID: 36300346). (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
