Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -15 ACMG points: 0P and 15B. BA1BP4BS2_SupportingBP5BS4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.119G>A variant in the RAF1 gene is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by histidine at amino acid 40 (p.Arg40His). The filtering allele frequency of this variant is 0.5265% for Admixed American chromosomes in gnomAD v4, which is a high enough frequency to be classified as benign based on thresholds defined by the ClinGen RASopathy Expert panel for autosomal dominant RASopathy variants (BA1). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.281, which is below the threshold of 0.3 and does not predict a damaging effect on RAF1 function (BP4). This variant has been identified in a patient with an alternate molecular basis for disease and did not segregate with disease in affected family members (BP5, BS4; GeneDx internal data; GTR ID: 26957; SCV000171283.11). Additionally this variant was identified in multiple healthy individuals (BS2_P, Eurofins, SCV000227278.5; Illumina, SCV000440638.3; Ambry Genetics, SCV000736788.4). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as benign for autosomal dominant RASopathies based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen RASopathy Variant Curation Expert Panel: BA1, BS4, BS2_supporting, BP4, BP5 (Specification Version 2.1, 9/17/2024) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA201617/MONDO:0021060/040

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]

The c.119G>A variant in the RAF1 gene is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by histidine at amino acid 40 (p.Arg40His). The filtering allele frequency of this variant is 0.5265% for Admixed American chromosomes in gnomAD v4, which is a high enough frequency to be classified as benign based on thresholds defined by the ClinGen RASopathy Expert panel for autosomal dominant RASopathy variants (BA1). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.281, which is below the threshold of 0.3 and does not predict a damaging effect on RAF1 function (BP4). This variant has been identified in a patient with an alternate molecular basis for disease and did not segregate with disease in affected family members (BP5, BS4; GeneDx internal data; GTR ID: 26957; SCV000171283.11). Additionally this variant was identified in multiple healthy individuals (BS2_P, Eurofins, SCV000227278.5; Illumina, SCV000440638.3; Ambry Genetics, SCV000736788.4). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as benign for autosomal dominant RASopathies based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen RASopathy Variant Curation Expert Panel: BA1, BS4, BS2_supporting, BP4, BP5 (Specification Version 2.1, 9/17/2024) -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

Significance:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
