Description
This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 362 of the MFN2 protein (p.Thr362Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs387906991, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 16835246, 18458227, 21715711, 26114802). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 30738). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on MFN2 protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
