unknown · exon 34i

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 variant

This intronic NF1 variant is interpreted in the context of NF1, where inherited pathogenic changes disrupt neurofibromin-mediated negative regulation of RAS signaling and cause neurofibromatosis type 1.

Likely Benign: BS2 (strong) plus BP4 (supporting) satisfy the generic ACMG/AMP fallback rule for one strong and one supporting benign criterion.
Classification rationale
BS2BP4 Likely Benign
NF1 c.4577+11C>G unknown · exon 34i

BS2 strong: gnomAD v4.1 contains six homozygotes, inconsistent with a highly penetrant autosomal-dominant NF1 risk allele. BP4 supporting: SpliceAI maximum delta 0.005 is below the generic <=0.1 threshold for an intronic variant.

BS2 + BP4 → Likely Benign
LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.

Strength Supporting Moderate Strong Very strong
BS2 strong review Benign
Met, strong: gnomAD v4.1 contains 6 homozygotes for this allele, inconsistent with a highly penetrant autosomal-dominant NF1 risk allele.
The NF1 ClinGen specification identifies autosomal-dominant NF1 but provides no usable BS2-specific rule payload in the retrieved framework.gnomAD v4.1 reports total homozygote count 6 for the variant.The retrieved non-cancer population records report one homozygote in gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer and zero in gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exomes.
BP4 supporting Benign
Met at supporting strength: SpliceAI maximum delta 0.005 is below the <=0.1 BP4 threshold for intronic variants.
The variant is intronic, so BP4 was assessed using SpliceAI only; REVEL is not applicable.SpliceAI reports a maximum delta score of 0.005 (DS_AG 0.005, DS_AL 0.001, DS_DG 0.0, DS_DL 0.0).The NF1 VCEP framework is present but provides no criterion-specific BP4 threshold, so the supplied generic calibration was used: BP4 supporting <=0.1, from Jaganathan et al. 2019 (PMID:30661751).

Pathogenic
PVS1 Not met: the intronic +11 variant has SpliceAI max delta 0.005 and lacks evidence of abnormal splicing, NMD, or a protein-truncating consequence.
PS2 Not assessed: no documented proband-parent testing or confirmed de novo event is available for NM_001042492.2:c.4577+11C>G.
PS3 Not assessed: no variant-specific validated functional assay or RNA/protein result demonstrates that c.4577+11C>G disrupts NF1 function or splicing.
PS4 Not assessed: no exact-variant affected-case series or case-control enrichment statistic is available to establish increased NF1 prevalence.
PM2 Not met: gnomAD v4.1 AF is 0.00097426, nearly tenfold above the generic PM2 threshold of 0.0001.
PM3 Not assessed: no affected-proband observation documents a pathogenic NF1 allele in trans with c.4577+11C>G.
PM6 Not assessed: no report identifies NM_001042492.2:c.4577+11C>G as apparently de novo without parental confirmation.
PP1 Not assessed: no affected relatives, informative meioses, or phenotype-consistent familial segregation are documented for this variant.
PP3 Not met: SpliceAI maximum delta 0.005 is below the 0.2 supporting threshold for intronic variants.
PP4 Not assessed: no patient phenotype or exact-variant phenotype correlation is available to demonstrate a highly specific NF1 presentation.
PP5 Not met: exact-variant ClinVar has zero expert-panel submissions and reports laboratory classifications as benign or likely benign.
Benign
BA1 Not met: the highest robust population frequency is 0.00792341, below the generic BA1 threshold of 0.05; the 4/52 outlier is a small-sample artifact.
BS1 Not met: the highest robust population frequency is 0.00792341, below the generic BS1 threshold of 0.01.
BS3 Not assessed: no variant-specific validated functional assay or RNA/protein result demonstrates normal NF1 function or splicing for c.4577+11C>G.
BS4 Not assessed: no tested unaffected relative carrying the variant, with adequate age and phenotype information, is documented.
BP2 Not assessed: no phase-resolved observation places c.4577+11C>G in trans with a pathogenic NF1 variant in an informative context.
BP5 Not assessed: no exact-variant affected case with a confirmed alternative molecular explanation is documented.
BP6 Not met: exact-variant ClinVar has zero expert-panel submissions, so laboratory Benign or Likely benign assertions cannot trigger BP6.
