MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene product appears to function as a negative regulator of the ras signal transduction pathway. Mutations in this gene have been linked to neurofibromatosis type 1, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and Watson syndrome. The mRNA for this gene is subject to RNA editing (CGA>UGA->Arg1306Term) resulting in premature translation termination. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have also been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
PHENOTYPE: Homozygous embryos die by day 14.5 with enlarged head and chest, pale liver, microphthalmia, cardiac defects and delayed organ development. Heterozygotes have elevated astrocyte number, predisposition to multiple tumor types and learning/memory deficits. [provided by MGI curators]

Nature of Mutation

DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified a G to A transition at position 6650 of the Nf1 transcript in exon 43 of 58 exons using Genbank record NM_009671.5.  Multiple transcripts of Nf1 gene are displayed on Ensembl and Vega.  The mutated nucleotide causes an arginine to histidine substitution at amino acid 2181 of the encoded protein (amino acid 2160 for the Ensembl record). The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method.

Protein Function and Prediction
The Nf1 gene encodes a 2841 amino acid protein that is Ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP). Multiple isoforms are produced by alternative splicing. Isoform 1 is expressed predominantly in brain, spinal cord and testis. Isoform 2 is expressed predominantly in adrenal gland, kidney, ovary and lung. Isoform 3 is expressed predominantly in adrenal gland and isoform 4 is expressed mainly in the testis. Isoform 2 (the canonical isoform) contains a Ras-GAP domain at amino acids 1237-1453, and a CRAL-TRIO domain at residues 1583-1740. CRAL-TRIO domains typically bind small lipophilic molecules (Uniprot Q04690). Homozygous embryos die by day 14.5 with enlarged head and chest, pale liver, microphthalmia, cardiac defects and delayed organ development. Heterozygotes have elevated astrocyte number, predisposition to multiple tumor types and learning/memory deficits. Mutations in the human NF1 gene causes neurofibromatosis type I (NF1; 613113), which is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by cafe-au-lait spots, Lisch nodules in the eye, and fibromatous tumors of the skin. Individuals with the disorder have increased susceptibility to the development of benign and malignant tumors.
