“…Nevertheless, intragenic genotype-phenotype correlations concerning a single or a few neighboring amino acids (i.e., p.844-848, p.Met992del, p.Met1149, p.Arg1276, p.Lys1423, and p.Arg1809) have been identified in the context of somatic NF1 features. [26][27][28][29]45 While theoretically one would only need a sample size of n = 102 for a comparison of these six specific genotypes alongside a general group with other missense pathogenic variants (assuming a medium effect size of f 2 = 0.15, one categorical fixed effect with four categories, a significance criterion of α = 0.05, and a power of 1-β = 0.80), one would also need a reasonable number of individuals per group. As our data included only n = 2 p.844-848, n = 5 p.Met992del, n = 1 p.Met1149, n = 3 p.Arg1276, n = 4 p.Lys1423, and n = 9 p.Arg1809 individuals, we regarded our data as unsuitable for such an analysis.…”
