Genes affected
NOTCH3 (HGNC:7883): (notch receptor 3) This gene encodes the third discovered human homologue of the Drosophilia melanogaster type I membrane protein notch. In Drosophilia, notch interaction with its cell-bound ligands (delta, serrate) establishes an intercellular signalling pathway that plays a key role in neural development. Homologues of the notch-ligands have also been identified in human, but precise interactions between these ligands and the human notch homologues remains to be determined. Mutations in NOTCH3 have been identified as the underlying cause of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL).

The NOTCH3 c.619C>T; p.Arg207Cys variant (rs775267348) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals and families affected with CADASIL (Dotti 2005, Escary 2000, Matsushima 2017, Oberstein 1999, Singhal 2004). This variant is found on only two chromosomes (2/250308 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism, and it is reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic by several laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 447862). The arginine at codon 207 is moderately conserved and occurs in the fifth EGF-like domain, although computational analyses (SIFT: tolerated, PolyPhen-2: damaging) predict conflicting effects of this variant on protein structure/function. Most pathogenic NOTCH3 variants occur in exons 2-24 and either create or destroy a cysteine residue within an EGF-like domain (Rutten 2014), and thus the p.Arg207Cys variant is consistent with the predominant mechanism of disease in NOTCH3. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely pathogenic. References: Dotti MT et al. The spectrum of Notch3 mutations in 28 Italian CADASIL families.

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with clinical features associated with CADASIL. In some published literature, this variant is referred to as c.697C>T. This variant alters a critical location within the protein, and is expected to severely affect function and cause disease. Greater than 90% of NOTCH3 pathogenic variants associated with CADASIL involve the gain or loss of a cysteine residue within the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeat domain (PMID: 32457593, 20301673).

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 207 of the NOTCH3 protein (p.Arg207Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs775267348, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with CADASIL (PMID: 15834039, 16009764, 20935329, 27890607). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447862). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt NOTCH3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

The R207C variant in the NOTCH3 gene is a heterozygous missense variant, which results in the substitution of an arginine residue at the 207 position to cysteine. This variant localizes to coding exon 4 of the NOTCH3 gene (33 coding exons in total; NP_000426.2) and is part of the EGF-like 5 domain. In silico analyses are inconsistent in predicting the effect of this variant on protein structure and/ or function: it is predicted to be deleterious and damaging to protein structure and/ or function by PROVEAN but predicted to be tolerated by SIFT. This variant is present in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) at a very low frequency (2/250,308), indicating it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in these databases. Mutations in NOTCH3 are associated with Cerebral arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy 1 (CADASIL) (OMIM#125310). This specific variant has been described to be disease causing in several cohorts of individuals with CADASIL (PMIDs: 27890607, 26305465, 25623805, 15834039, 10371548, 22664156), and is reported in the ClinVar database as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (Variation ID: 447862).

Variant summary: NOTCH3 c.619C>T (p.Arg207Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the EGF like domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250308 control chromosomes. c.619C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Cerebral arteriopathy, autosomal dominant, with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, type 1 (example: Hack_2022). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 35862191). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447862). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

The NOTCH3 c.619C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg207Cys. This variant has been reported to be causative for CADASIL in numerous affected individuals (see for example Escary et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 11102981; Matsushima et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 27890607). Most CADASIL causing variants in the NOTCH3 gene result in the gain or loss of one or more cysteine residues in the extracellular domain of the protein, as seen in this patient. This patient’s variant alters a cysteine residue and is located in the extracellular EGF-like domain five. Pathogenic variants in EGF-like domains 1-6 appear to be fully penetrant and are usually associated with the classical CADASIL phenotype. However, there is variability in disease severity (OMIM #125310; Rutten et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27844030; Rutten et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30032161). This variant is reported in 0.0018% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic.
