Genes affected
NEFL (HGNC:7739): (neurofilament light chain) Neurofilaments are type IV intermediate filament heteropolymers composed of light, medium, and heavy chains. Neurofilaments comprise the axoskeleton and they functionally maintain the neuronal caliber. They may also play a role in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. This gene encodes the light chain neurofilament protein. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease types 1F (CMT1F) and 2E (CMT2E), disorders of the peripheral nervous system that are characterized by distinct neuropathies. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome Y. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

PM1
In a region_of_interest Head (size 90) in uniprot entity NFL_HUMAN there are 10 pathogenic changes around while only 3 benign (77%) in NM_006158.5
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr8-24956494-G-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 287020.
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 19 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 5 curated benign missense variants. Trascript score misZ: 0.63774 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B5, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2E, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1F.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.31879956).

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces proline with serine at codon 8 of the NEFL protein (p.Pro8Ser). The proline residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and serine. 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. This variant disrupts the p.Pro8 amino acid residue in NEFL. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22155564, 12566280, 28501821, 23618875, 19158810). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with NEFL-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 576990). -
