ClinVar Genomic variation as it relates to human health

Insufficient or conflicting evidence;Other data supporting benign classification

Variant summary: NF1 c.6866C>T (p.Pro2289Leu) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00025 in 251474 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0052 within the Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Ashkenazi Jewish control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 25 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in NF1 causing Neurofibromatosis Type 1 phenotype (0.00021), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. c.6866C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with various cancers (Jones_2015, Johnston_2012, Chitalia_2019), however these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 or other cancers. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six ClinVar submitters have assessed this variant after 2014: Four have classified this variant as likely benign/benign, and two as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

p.Pro2310Leu in exon 47 of NF1: This variant is not expected to have clinical si gnificance because it has been identified in 0.5% (52/10152) of Ashkenazi Jewish chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinst itute.org/; dbSNP rs148736217). ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BA1 (Richards 2015).

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease.

Converted during submission to Uncertain significance.

This variant is classified as likely benign based on ACMG/AMP sequence variant interpretation guidelines (Richards et al. 2015 PMID: 25741868, with internal and published modifications).

Variant classified as Uncertain significance and reported on 02-23-2021 by Sema4. Assertions are reported exactly as they appear on the patient provided laboratory report. GenomeConnect does not attempt to reinterpret the variant. The IDDRC-CTSA National Brain Gene Registry (BGR) is a study funded by the U.S. National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and includes 13 Intellectual and Developmental Disability Research Center (IDDRC) institutions. The study is led by Principal Investigator Dr. Philip Payne from Washington University. The BGR is a data commons of gene variants paired with subject clinical information. This database helps scientists learn more about genetic changes and their impact on the brain and behavior. Participation in the Brain Gene Registry requires participation in GenomeConnect.
