We have found that patient variants in codons 844 to 848, which correlate with a severe phenotype, cause protein instability and exert an additional dominant-negative action whereby wild-type neurofibromin also becomes destabilized through protein dimerization. We have used our neurofibromin cryogenic electron microscopy structure to predict and validate other patient variants that act through a similar mechanism. This provides a foundation for understanding genotype-phenotype correlations and has important implications for patient counseling, disease management, and therapeutics. |
