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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxNov 25, 2020Reported as heterozygous in an individual with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease who was also heterozygous for a de novo variant in the GDAP1 gene; the variant in MFN2 was also present in the asymptomatic mother and the maternal grandfather with adult onset neuropathy (Kostera-Pruszczyk et al., 2014); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32963807, 15549395, 25403865, 30373780, 30340945) -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterresearchDepartment of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, The University of Hong KongJun 02, 2020By the ACMG guideline 2015, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic (PM1, PM2, PP2, PP3) with multiple affected individuals reported. Our patient does not habour typical features of Charcot Marie Tooth disease or neuropathy. Rather, he presented with other neurological issues such as intellectual disability, behavioural problems and seizure. -

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJun 17, 2021This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 25403865, 15549395, Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217165). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant is present in population databases (rs773159585, ExAC 0.001%). This sequence change replaces threonine with methionine at codon 236 of the MFN2 protein (p.Thr236Met). The threonine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between threonine and methionine. -
