Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 3P and 9B. PM1PP2BP4_StrongBP6BS1

The NM_006158.5(NEFL):​c.227T>C​(p.Val76Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000261 in 1,611,162 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V76E) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points.

PM1
In a region_of_interest Head (size 90) in uniprot entity NFL_HUMAN there are 10 pathogenic changes around while only 3 benign (77%) in NM_006158.5
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 19 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 5 curated benign missense variants. Trascript score misZ: 0.63774 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B5, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2E, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1F.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.00952068).
BP6
Variant 8-24956289-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr8-24956289-A-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 66686.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000256 (39/152232) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.00718 (37/5150). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00536. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 23 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
