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.
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 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.
