Genes affected
MFN2 (HGNC:16877): (mitofusin 2) This gene encodes a mitochondrial membrane protein that participates in mitochondrial fusion and contributes to the maintenance and operation of the mitochondrial network. This protein is involved in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, and it may play a role in the pathophysiology of obesity. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2, and hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy VI, which are both disorders of the peripheral nervous system. Defects in this gene have also been associated with early-onset stroke. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 18, 2023ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 543219). 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 MFN2 protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 16714318, 26306937, 26686600, 27862672, 28660751, 35922214). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 250 of the MFN2 protein (p.Arg250Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs373107074, gnomAD 0.004%). -
