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]

NF1 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.8, offset of -47, new splice context is: atcaggttctccattggcAGgca. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-31227217-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-31227217-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 457575.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr17-31227217-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Neurofibromatosis, type 1 Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genome-Nilou Lab	Mar 15, 2022	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Sep 23, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 457575). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMID: 12872266; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 18 of the NF1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in NF1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10712197, 23913538). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Molecular Genetics, Royal Melbourne Hospital	Mar 30, 2023	This sequence change affects the canonical acceptor splice site in intron 18 of NF1. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing (not confirmed in RNA assays) and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. Premature protein termination has been detected for another variant disrupting this splice site (PMID: 12872266). Loss of function is a well-established mechanism of disease for this gene (PVS1; ClinVar). The variant is absent in a large population cohort (PM2; gnomAD v2.1 and v3.0), and has been observed in at least two individuals with a clinical diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 1 (PS4_Supporting; Royal Melbourne Hospital, Invitae - ClinVar ID: 457575). Based on the classification scheme RMH ACMG Guidelines v1.2.1, this variant is classified as PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PVS1, PM2, PS4_Supporting. -
