Invitae	RCV000632339	SCV000753516	pathogenic	Neurofibromatosis, type 1	2023-10-26	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change falls in intron 22 of the NF1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the NF1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with or undergoing testing for neurofibromatosis type 1 (PMID: 17311297, 21520333; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 527465). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant disrupts the c.2990+5G nucleotide in the NF1 gene. Other variant(s) that disrupt this nucleotide have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 26740943). This suggests that this nucleotide is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this position are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; Also known as IVS17+5G>A; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 17576681, 9536098, 26740943, 17311297, LOVD, 35595873)
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV000632339	SCV003928897	likely pathogenic	Neurofibromatosis, type 1	2023-04-14	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: NF1 c.2990+5G>A alters a nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant weakens a canonical 5' donor site. One predict the variant no significant impact on splicing. At least one publication reports experimental evidence supporting an impact on splicing, finding an under-representation of the variant transcript allele relative to the wildtype allele using pyrosequencing (Brinckmann_2007), which is consistent with NMD following a frameshift. The variant was absent in 249736 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2990+5G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (Wimmer_2007, Brinckmann_2007). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Three submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
