RCV001361734 | SCV001557721 | uncertain significance | Neurofibromatosis, type 1 | 2023-08-22 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change falls in intron 6 of the NF1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the NF1 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. 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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exon 7 and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1053396). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NF1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). |
