Genes affected
KRAS (HGNC:6407): (KRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase) This gene, a Kirsten ras oncogene homolog from the mammalian ras gene family, encodes a protein that is a member of the small GTPase superfamily. A single amino acid substitution is responsible for an activating mutation. The transforming protein that results is implicated in various malignancies, including lung adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenoma, ductal carcinoma of the pancreas and colorectal carcinoma. Alternative splicing leads to variants encoding two isoforms that differ in the C-terminal region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionMar 22, 2022Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000012582). A different missense change at the same codon has been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000012583,VCV000012584, PMID:17704260). The variant is located in a mutational hot spot and/or well-established functional domain in which established pathogenic variants have been reported. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.875>=0.6, 3CNET: 0.995>=0.75). A missense variant is a common mechanism . The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.0000040). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingClinical Genomics Laboratory, Washington University in St. LouisNov 03, 2023The KRAS c.35G>A (p.Gly12Asp) variant was identified at an allelic fraction consistent with somatic origin. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals affected with vascular malformations including numerous individuals with brain arteriovenous malformations (Nikolaev SI et al., PMID: 29298116; Lihua J et al., PMID: 29381910; Al-Olabi et al., PMID: 29461977; Goss JA et al., PMID: 31486960; Schmidt FV et al., PMID: 34114335; Mitchell BJ et al., PMID: 30394973). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant in both a somatic and germline state by multiple submitters (ClinVar ID: 12582) and in numerous cancer cases as a somatic variant in the cancer database COSMIC (COMIC ID: COSV55497369). This variant is only observed on 2/152,128 alleles in the general population (gnomAD v.3.1.2), indicating it is not a common variant. The KRAS c.35G>A (p.Gly12Asp) variant resides within the P-loop region of KRAS that is defined as a critical functional domain (Gelb BD et al., PMID: 29493581). Computational predictors indicate that the variant is damaging, evidence that correlates with impact to KRAS function. In support of this prediction, functional studies show that this variant activates mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 signaling pathway, leading to the formation of vascular malformation (Cistea IC et al., PMID: 23059812; Fish JE et al., PMID: 32552404; Janardhan HP et al., PMID: 32405640). The KRAS gene is defined by the ClinGen's RASopathies expert panel as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (Gelb BD et al., PMID: 29493581). Based on an internally developed protocol informed by the ACMG/AMP guidelines (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868) and gene-specific practices from the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry, the KRAS c.35G>A (p.Gly12Asp) variant is classified as pathogenic. -

RASopathy Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 30, 2017This sequence change replaces glycine with aspartic acid at codon 12 of the KRAS protein (p.Gly12Asp). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and aspartic acid. This variant is present in population databases (rs121913529, ExAC 0.01%). This variant has been reported in the literature as a somatic event (present in tissue from a lesion but not in non-lesional tissue or peripheral blood) in individuals with nevus sebaceous syndrome (PMID: 23255105, 22683711, 23096712, 26521233). It was also observed in a child with epidermal nevus, polycystic kidneys, rhabdomyosarcoma and growth retardation (PMID: 20805368). In one family this variant was found in an infant with severe Schimmelpenning syndrome, whereas the monozygotic twin brother was unaffected showing that this variant in the affected individual was due to a postzygotic somatic event (PMID: 22683711, 23255105). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12582). KRAS p.Gly12Asp is a frequently occurring somatic variant in several different types of cancers, including lung, ovarian, endometrial and pancreatic (PMID: 26861459, 1875403, 24629489, 23174937). Experimental studies using mouse knock-in models have shown that this missense change results in the activation of KRAS and increase in proliferation of mouse embryonic cells. In addition, pancreatic tissue from mice expressing this variant show de-differentiation and activation of signaling factors that initiate pancreatic cancer (PMID: 15093544, 25623042). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 05, 2022Variant summary: KRAS c.35G>A (p.Gly12Asp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Small GTP-binding protein domain (IPR005225) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 249328 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.35G>A is a well classified pathogenic somatic mutation (ClinVar ID 2582). c.35G>A has been reported with varying levels of somatic mosaicism in individuals affected with anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal union, epidermal nevus and Keratinocytic epidermal nevi and Schimmelpenning syndrome characterized by nevus sebaceous and extracutaneous abnormalities (Examples: Shimotake_2003, Bourdeaut_2010 and Hafner_2012, Groesser_2012). Experimental evidence have demonstrated that KRAS G12D is embryonically lethal in the mouse model and conditional expression in mouse embryonic fibroblasts causes enhanced proliferation and partial transformation consistent with a gain of function mechanism of disease (example: Tuveson_2004). A different variant affecting the same residue G12S is associated with Cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome in HGMD (Nava_2007). Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformations Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNew York Genome CenterJul 19, 2022The c.35G>A variant in KRAS is an established pathogenic variant almost always exclusively found in tissue analysis of individuals with somatic cancers or tissue-limited phenotypes, and it has been deposited in ClinVar [ClinVar ID: 12582] as Pathogenic. The c.35G>A variant is observed in 5 alleles with 0 homozygote in population databases (gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.2, TOPMed Freeze 8, All of Us), which might be due to clonal hematopoesis of indeterminate potential or emerging/existing hematologic malignancies in variant carrying individuals in those databases. The c.35G>A variant in KRAS is located in exon 2 of this 5-exon gene, and is predicted to replace an evolutionarily conserved glycine amino acid with aspartate at position 12 (p.Gly12Asp) in the encoded protein. The p.Gly12Asp variant has been demonstrated to confer oncogenic potential via inhibiting the GTPase activity that result in continuous GTP-bound, active state [PMID: 11323676, 27096871]. Although another variant at codon 12 (p.Gly12Ser) has been reported in the germline of individuals with RASopathy phenotypes [PMID: 17704260, 26242988], p.Gly12Asp variant has not been reported constitutionally. The p.Gly12Asp variant has recently been identified in CPAM sections of individuals at less than 35% variant allele fraction (VAF) while the nearby unaffected lung tissue sections were found to be not carrying the p.Gly12Asp variant [PMID: 35794233]. The c.35G>A variant has been found at 28% VAF (13/47 reads) in this fetal sample, which might reflect the tissue-limited mosaicism of respiratory tract cells present in the amniotic fluid. Based on available evidence this de novo mosaic c.35G>A p.Gly12Asp variant identified in KRAS is classified as Pathogenic. -
