Description

The c.2119C>T (p.R707W) alteration is located in exon 18 (coding exon 16) of the MFN2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2119, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 707 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W)._x000D_ _x000D_ Based on the available evidence, the MFN2 c.2119C>T (p.R707W) alteration is classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive MFN2-related neuropathy; however, it is unlikely to be causative of autosomal dominant MFN2-related neuropathy. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.025% (71/282876) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.051% (66/129186) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This alteration was reported in the homozygous state or in trans with another MFN2 variant in multiple individuals with axonal neuropathy and lipodystrophy (Nicholson, 2008; Calvo, 2009; Carr, 2015; Sawyer, 2015; Rocha, 2017; Capel, 2018). Heterozygous parents with affected children have been reported to be asymptomatic (Nicholson, 2008; Carr, 2015; Rocha, 2017). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. Functional analysis in patient fibroblasts demonstrated that the p.R707W alteration impairs mitofusin 2 homodimer formation leading to mitochondrial aggregation (Sawyer, 2015). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
