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

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -13 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.036648124).
BP6
Variant 17-31182670-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-31182670-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 141338.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 29 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 25, 2021Variant summary: NF1 c.888+5G>A alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.6e-05 in 248134 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00071 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 3.4 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in NF1 causing Neurofibromatosis Type 1 phenotype (0.00021), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of East Asian origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.888+5G>A in individuals affected with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. At-least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been observed at our laboratory (TP53 c.742C>T, p.Arg248Trp), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One laboratory classified the variant as likely benign, and one laboratory classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
