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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-31335016-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-31335016-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 233869.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr17-31335016-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp1976*) in the NF1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NF1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10712197, 23913538). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of neurofibromatosis, type 1 (PMID: 30014477, 31370276). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 233869). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.W1997* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.5991G>A), located in coding exon 40 of the NF1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 5991. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 40. This variant has been seen as somatic mutation in a tumor from one patient with neurofibromatosis with a germline NF1 microdeletion and one patient with a reportedly sporadic pheochromocytoma (Laycock-van Spyk S et al. Hum. Genomics 2011 Oct; 5(6):623-90; Thomas L et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet. 2012 Apr; 20(4):411-9; Welander J et al.J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2014 Jul; 99(7):E1352-60; Stenman A et al. Endocr. Pathol. 2015 Mar; 26(1):9-14). In addition to the data presented in the literature, since premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -
