The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
Functional characterization of NTRK1 E492K in patient-derived iPSC neural stem cells demonstrated significantly reduced neurite outgrowth upon NGF treatment and markedly reduced NTRK1 gene expression compared to control cells. A conditional E495K (mouse ortholog) knock-in mouse model was generated and exhibited altered hippocampal pERK signaling, supporting a functional consequence of this variant on TrkA signaling.
This variant is present at very low frequency in population databases: gnomAD v2.1 AF = 0.044% (124/282,262 alleles, 0 homozygotes); gnomAD v4.1 AF = 0.069% (1,113/1,613,264 alleles, 1 homozygote). Highest subpopulation frequency is 0.089% (NFE, gnomAD v4.1). Allele frequency is below the 0.1% threshold for PM2 at supporting strength. The single homozygote in v4.1 is noted but does not negate PM2 at supporting level for a recessive condition.
The NTRK1 E492K variant co-segregates with disease in a large multiplex pedigree (family 6807) in which seven members had both autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) and mood disorders including five with bipolar disorder (PMID:33235206). Perfect co-segregation of the variant with ADTKD and mood disorders was observed in this family.
In silico prediction tools support a deleterious effect: REVEL score 0.757 (damaging threshold >0.5); PolyPhen-2 score 0.99 (probably damaging) reported in PMID:33235206. BayesDel score 0.297 is discordant but REVEL is the verified predictor in this pipeline. SpliceAI max delta 0.08 indicates no splicing impact.
The homozygous p.Glu492Lys variant was identified in a patient with a congenital syndrome of sensory neuropathy, anhidrosis, seizures, deafness, and developmental delay (PMID:24154508, citing Davidson et al. 2012 PMID:22302274). This phenotype constellation is highly specific for congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA/HSAN4), which is exclusively caused by biallelic NTRK1 mutations.
One homozygous individual for NM_002529.3:c.1474G>A (p.Glu492Lys) is present in gnomAD v4.1 (1 homozygote among 1,613,264 alleles). For a fully penetrant autosomal recessive condition (CIPA/HSAN4) that presents at birth with severe sensory and autonomic dysfunction, observation of a presumed healthy adult homozygote in a population database that excludes severe pediatric disease argues against complete penetrance. However, the phenotype of this individual is unknown, and the variant may be hypomorphic.
gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PS3 moderate, PM2 supporting, PP1 supporting, PP3 supporting, PP4 supporting, BS2 supporting benign; combination = 1 moderate + 4 supporting + 1 supporting benign, which maps to Likely Pathogenic.

NTRK1 c.1474G>A (p.Glu492Lys) has been reported as a homozygous variant in a patient with congenital sensory neuropathy, anhidrosis, seizures, deafness, and developmental delay, a phenotype consistent with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA/HSAN4), which is exclusively caused by biallelic NTRK1 mutations.
Functional characterization of NTRK1 E492K in patient-derived iPSC neural stem cells demonstrated significantly reduced neurite outgrowth upon NGF treatment and markedly reduced NTRK1 gene expression compared to control cells; a conditional knock-in mouse model recapitulated altered TrkA signaling.
The variant co-segregates with disease in a multiplex family in which seven members had both ADTKD and mood disorders including five with bipolar disorder, providing evidence of co-segregation though with a phenotype that differs from classic NTRK1-related CIPA.
The variant is present at low frequency in population databases: gnomAD v2.1 allele frequency 0.044% (124/282,262 alleles, 0 homozygotes) and gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency 0.069% (1,113/1,613,264 alleles, 1 homozygote), meeting PM2 at supporting level.
In silico predictions support a deleterious effect: REVEL score 0.757 (damaging), PolyPhen-2 score 0.99 (probably damaging); SpliceAI max delta 0.08 indicates no splicing impact.
One homozygous individual is observed in gnomAD v4.1, which for a fully penetrant severe autosomal recessive condition presenting at birth argues against complete penetrance; however, the phenotype of this individual is unknown and the variant may be hypomorphic.
ClinVar classification is Uncertain Significance (Variation ID 418887, 7 submissions) with one Likely benign submission; no expert panel review exists.
Overall balance of evidence: one moderate pathogenic criterion (PS3), four supporting pathogenic criteria (PM2, PP1, PP3, PP4), and one supporting benign criterion (BS2). This yields a net classification of Uncertain Significance per ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules.
