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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a region_of_interest Part of a helix bundle domain, formed by helices from N-terminal and C-terminal regions (size 31) in uniprot entity MFN2_HUMAN there are 26 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_014874.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), MFN2. . Gene score misZ 1.6575 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 3.2174 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2, axonal hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type 6, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, autosomal recessive, type 2a2b;, multiple symmetric lipomatosis, severe early-onset axonal neuropathy due to MFN2 deficiency.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.895

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 728 of the MFN2 protein (p.Gln728Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs761544980, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MFN2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 543241). 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 MFN2 protein function. 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. -
