Genes affected
MFN2 (HGNC:16877): (mitofusin 2) This gene encodes a mitochondrial membrane protein that participates in mitochondrial fusion and contributes to the maintenance and operation of the mitochondrial network. This protein is involved in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, and it may play a role in the pathophysiology of obesity. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2, and hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy VI, which are both disorders of the peripheral nervous system. Defects in this gene have also been associated with early-onset stroke. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 176 of the MFN2 protein (p.Gly176Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 26257172, 29361379). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 243074). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on MFN2 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Gly176 amino acid residue in MFN2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with MFN2-related conditions (PMID: 28286897), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. 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. -
