Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -19 ACMG points: 1P and 20B. PP2BP4_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBS1BS2
The NM_002880.4(RAF1):c.124G>A(p.Ala42Thr) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000217 in 1,614,164 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A42I) has been classified as Likely benign.
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]
PP2 - Missense variant in a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and in which missense variants are a common mechanism of disease
Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, RAF1
BP4
?
BP4 - Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.050097853).
BP6
?
BP6 - Reputable source recently reports variant as benign, but the evidence is not available to the laboratory to perform an independent evaluation
Variant 3-12618598-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr3-12618598-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 448930.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
BS1
?
BS1 - Allele frequency is greater than expected for disorder
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.000218 (318/1461886) while in subpopulation MID AF= 0.00139 (8/5768). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00069. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 158 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck.

The filtering allele frequency of the c.124G>A (p.Ala42Thr) variant in the RAF1 gene is 0.026% (25/66738) of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium, which is a high enough frequency to be classified as likely benign based on thresholds defined by the ClinGen RASopathy Expert Panel (BS1; PMID:29493581) -

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 did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
