Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PS4 PS3_Supporting PM1 PS2 PP3 PP2 PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.1406G>A variant in BRAF is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of glycine by glutamic acid at amino acid 469 (p.Gly469Glu). This variant is absent from gnomAD v4 (PM2_Supporting). The variant is located in the BRAF gene, which has been defined by the ClinGen RASopathy Expert Panel as a gene with a low rate of benign missense variants and pathogenic missense variants are common (PP2). The REVEL computational prediction analysis tool produced a score of 0.921, which is above the threshold necessary to apply PP3 (PP3). Furthermore, this variant is in a location which has been defined by the ClinGen RASopathy Expert Panel functional domain of BRAF (PM1). This variant has been reported in the literature in at least 12 patients with clinical features of RASopathy (PS4, PMIDs: 18042262, 16474404, 30141192, 29907801, 35418823), out of which 3 patients were reported as a confirmed de novo occurrence (PS2_VeryStrong; PMIDs: 18042262, 16474404). Luciferase assays showed that p.Gly469Glu did not enhance ELK-dependent transcription indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PS3_Supporting; 16474404). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant RASopathies based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen RASopathy Variant Curation Expert Panel: PS2_VeryStrong, PS4, PM1, PS3_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, PP2, PP3 (Specification Version 2.1, 9/17/2024) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA279970/MONDO:0015280/049

Genes affected

BRAF (HGNC:1097): (B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase) This gene encodes a protein belonging to the RAF family of serine/threonine protein kinases. This protein plays a role in regulating the MAP kinase/ERK signaling pathway, which affects cell division, differentiation, and secretion. Mutations in this gene, most commonly the V600E mutation, are the most frequently identified cancer-causing mutations in melanoma, and have been identified in various other cancers as well, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colorectal cancer, thyroid carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, hairy cell leukemia and adenocarcinoma of lung. Mutations in this gene are also associated with cardiofaciocutaneous, Noonan, and Costello syndromes, which exhibit overlapping phenotypes. A pseudogene of this gene has been identified on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
