Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -9 ACMG points: 0P and 9B. BP4_Strong BP6 BS2

The NM_000268.4(NF2):​c.448-5T>C variant causes a splice region, splice polypyrimidine tract, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000109 in 1,461,372 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).

Genes affected

NF2 (HGNC:7773): (NF2, moesin-ezrin-radixin like (MERLIN) tumor suppressor) This gene encodes a protein that is similar to some members of the ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin) family of proteins that link cytoskeletal components with proteins in the cell membrane. The encoded protein is involved in regulation of contact-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation and functions in cell-cell adhesion and transmembrane signaling. The encoded protein has been shown to interact with cell-surface proteins, proteins involved in cytoskeletal dynamics, and proteins involved in regulating ion transport. Disruption of this protein's function has been implicated in tumorigenesis and metastasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with neurofibromatosis type II which is characterized by nervous system and skin tumors and ocular abnormalities. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -9 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.61).
• BP6: Variant 22-29654652-T-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr22-29654652-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 237625.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Likely_benign=2}.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 16 AD gene.

The c.448-5T>C intronic variant results from a T to C substitution 5 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 5 in the NF2 gene. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will not have any significant effect on splicing; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
