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]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change affects codon 903 of the NF1 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the NF1 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely results in the loss of 48 amino acid residue(s), but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) (PMID: 17311297, 18041031, 25074460, 29449315, 29618358). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 373958). Studies have shown that this variant results in the activation of a cryptic splice site in exon 21 (PMID: 17311297, 18041031; internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

A female patient met NIH clinical criteria for diagnosis of NF1 including a) axillary and groin freckling; b) >12 neurofibromas, of which one was verified by pathology on biopsy; c) family history of cafe au lait spots. She developed metaplastic breast cancer with somatic loss of heterozygosity of the wildtype allele at this variant position in the NF1 gene. Although this variant at c.2709[G>A] is synonymous, it has been reported previously to introduce a cryptic splice donor site, thereby resulting in deletion of downstream codons and putative changes in neurofibromin protein expression and function.

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v4.1.0 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Synonymous variant: previously reported to result in an inframe deletion (PMID: 18041031). In silico tools predict the variant to alter splicing and produce an abnormal transcript [SpliceAI: 0.62 (spliceogenicity >=0.2, non-spliceogenicity <0.1)]. Synonymous variant: previously reported to result in an inframe deletion (PMID: 18041031). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic (PVS1_M, PS4_S, PM2_M, PP5_S) according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.
