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 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.009741784 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-31227607-GT-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-31227607-GT-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 237536.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr17-31227607-GT-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr17-31227607-GT-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in NF1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10712197, 23913538). This variant has been observed in an individual affected with neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMID: 25074460). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237536). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 20 of the NF1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
