Genes affected
NFU1 (HGNC:16287): (NFU1 iron-sulfur cluster scaffold) This gene encodes a protein that is localized to mitochondria and plays a critical role in iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis. The encoded protein assembles and transfers 4Fe-4S clusters to target apoproteins including succinate dehydrogenase and lipoic acid synthase. Mutations in this gene are a cause of multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome-1, and pseudogenes of this gene are located on the short arms of chromosomes 1 and 3. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 210 of the NFU1 protein (p.Cys210Phe). This variant is present in population databases (rs201634470, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome (PMID: 25477904, 28803783, 36256512). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 336888). 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 NFU1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Studies have shown that this missense change alters NFU1 gene expression (PMID: 28803783). 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. -
