VUS: BP7 supporting is met because synonymous p.Glu602= has SpliceAI maximum delta 0.078, below the 0.1 cutoff.
NF1 encodes neurofibromin, a tumor suppressor protein that negatively regulates the RAS signal transduction pathway. As a GTPase-activating protein, it helps switch RAS proteins from their active to inactive state, keeping cell growth in check; loss of NF1 function leaves RAS overactive and drives downstream growth pathways such as MAPK/ERK and PI3K. Inherited changes in NF1 cause the cancer-predisposition syndrome neurofibromatosis type 1, and are also linked to juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and Watson syndrome. Somatic changes in NF1 are found in many tumor types, including breast cancer, melanoma, and glioma.
This NF1 variant occurs in a gene encoding neurofibromin, a RAS-pathway tumor suppressor whose loss of function contributes to neurofibromatosis type 1 and related cancer predisposition.
