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]

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 10, 2020The p.P252L variant (also known as c.755C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the NEFL gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 755. The proline at codon 252 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is well 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 this alteration remains unclear. -
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2E Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 05, 2023This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 252 of the NEFL protein (p.Pro252Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs373569840, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of NEFL-related conditions (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 569117). 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 NEFL protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -
