Genes affected
NF2 (HGNC:7773): (NF2, moesin-ezrin-radixin like (MERLIN) tumor suppressor) This gene encodes a protein that is similar to some members of the ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin) family of proteins that link cytoskeletal components with proteins in the cell membrane. The encoded protein is involved in regulation of contact-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation and functions in cell-cell adhesion and transmembrane signaling. The encoded protein has been shown to interact with cell-surface proteins, proteins involved in cytoskeletal dynamics, and proteins involved in regulating ion transport. Disruption of this protein's function has been implicated in tumorigenesis and metastasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with neurofibromatosis type II which is characterized by nervous system and skin tumors and ocular abnormalities. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenome-Nilou LabNov 07, 2021- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 05, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 338 of the NF2 protein (p.Arg338His). This variant is present in population databases (rs768053145, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with neurofibromatosis type 2 (PMID: 18033041). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 527707). 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 not expected to disrupt NF2 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthAug 08, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 338 of the NF2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMID: 18033041). This variant has been identified in 4/251414 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 28, 2022This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
