Genes affected

RAF1 (HGNC:9829): (Raf-1 proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase) This gene is the cellular homolog of viral raf gene (v-raf). The encoded protein is a MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K), which functions downstream of the Ras family of membrane associated GTPases to which it binds directly. Once activated, the cellular RAF1 protein can phosphorylate to activate the dual specificity protein kinases MEK1 and MEK2, which in turn phosphorylate to activate the serine/threonine specific protein kinases, ERK1 and ERK2. Activated ERKs are pleiotropic effectors of cell physiology and play an important role in the control of gene expression involved in the cell division cycle, apoptosis, cell differentiation and cell migration. Mutations in this gene are associated with Noonan syndrome 5 and LEOPARD syndrome 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

MKRN2 (HGNC:7113): (makorin ring finger protein 2) This gene encodes a probable E3 ubiquitin ligase containing several zinc finger domains, that is a member of the makorin RING zinc-finger protein family. This gene overlaps the v-raf-1 murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1 (RAF1) gene in an antisense orientation and may have a co-regulatory function with RAF1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]

Variant summary: The RAF1 c.1629G>C (p.Thr543Thr) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant, but 5/5 splicing algorithms predict no significant change to splicing. This variant was found in 11/121396 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the East Asian subpopulation at a frequency of 0.00104 (9/8654). This subpopulation frequency is about 42 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic RAF1 variant (0.000025), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of East Asian origin. The variant has been observed in one Japanese Kabuki Syndrome patient (Kuniba_ AJMG_2008) and one South Indian individual phenotype not specified (Dhandapany_Nat Genet_2015); data was not provided to suggest a causal relationship with the variant of interest. Additionally, one clinical diagnostic laboratory classified this variant as a VUS without providing evidence to independently evaluate. Taken together, this variant is classified as Benign based on the nature of the variant and the high allele frequency in the East Asian ExAC subpopulation. -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases was too high to be consistent with this variant causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. -
