Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Moderate

The NM_001042492.3(NF1):c.4637T>C(p.Leu1546Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. L1546R) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 15 uncertain in NM_001042492.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, NF1
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.924

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genome-Nilou Lab	Mar 15, 2022	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 29, 2019	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. 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: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has been reported in individuals in the Leiden Open-source Variation Database (PMID: 21520333). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 233964). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces leucine with proline at codon 1525 of the NF1 protein (p.Leu1525Pro). The leucine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between leucine and proline. -

The p.L1546P variant (also known as c.4637T>C), located in coding exon 35 of the NF1 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 4637. The leucine at codon 1546 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with some similar properties. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.002% (greater than 55,000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort.This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis.Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of p.L1546P remains unclear. -
