Genes affected

NF1 (HGNC:7765): (neurofibromin 1) This gene product appears to function as a negative regulator of the ras signal transduction pathway. Mutations in this gene have been linked to neurofibromatosis type 1, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and Watson syndrome. The mRNA for this gene is subject to RNA editing (CGA>UGA->Arg1306Term) resulting in premature translation termination. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have also been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), NF1. . Gene score misZ: 6.5427 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 8.4054 (greater than threshold 3.09). The gene has 399 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 143 curated benign missense variants. GenCC has associacion of the gene with neurofibromatosis, familial spinal, hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma, neurofibromatosis type 1, Watson syndrome, neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome, Moyamoya disease, familial ovarian cancer.

Neurofibromatosis, type 1 Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genome-Nilou Lab	Mar 15, 2022	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Feb 25, 2022	This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NF1-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 expected to disrupt NF1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 185947). This variant is present in population databases (rs371192107, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 159 of the NF1 protein (p.Thr159Pro). -

The p.T159P variant (also known as c.475A>C), located in coding exon 4 of the NF1 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 475. The threonine at codon 159 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.01% (greater than 11,000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. Based on protein sequence alignment, this amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of p.T159P remains unclear. -
