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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 17 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain Protein kinase (size 260) in uniprot entity BRAF_HUMAN there are 21 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (95%) in NM_004333.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the BRAF gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 139 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 21 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.7208 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.9447 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to LEOPARD syndrome 3, anaplastic astrocytoma, Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines, cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome 1, Noonan syndrome, cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, Costello syndrome, Noonan syndrome 7.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.981
• PP5: Variant 7-140781603-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-140781603-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 13970.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Variant summary: BRAF c.1405G>C (p.Gly469Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Serine-threonine/tyrosine-protein kinase, catalytic domain (IPR000719) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251420 control chromosomes. c.1405G>C has been widely reported in the literature as a somatic variant in a variety of cancers such as melanoma and in at-least one case of fetal autopsy findings of Cardiofaciocutaneous Syndrome (example, Terry_2014). In the fetal case, both parents denied having personal or family histories of genetic disorders, malformations, or other significant abnormalities. Therefore, although a de-novo etiology is likely, it was not unequivocally established by parental analysis as reported in this study. Furthermore, pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in HRAS, KRAS, MAP2K1, MAP2K2, PTPN11, RAF1, SOS1, and exon 2 of SHOC2 were reportedly not identified. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Damm_2014). The most pronounced variant effect results in constitutive ERK phosphorylation and Egr2 transcription along with a decrease in the proprtion of B cells in BRAF-G469R mice, as compared with empty murine stem cell virus vector or BRAF-wild type mice. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted germline clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The G469R missense mutation has not been reported as a germline mutation to our knowlege; however, a different mutation at this residue (G469E) has been described in patients with Cardio-Facio-Cutaneous (CFC) Syndrome (Niihori et al., 2006). The G469R mutation identified in the fetus has been reported previously as a somatic mutation in association with haematopoietic and lymphoid cancer (Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer). The G469R missense change is a non-conservative substitution with a neutral, non-polar Gly residue being replaced by a positively-charged Arg residue. The NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Server reports that G469R was not observed in approximately 6,500 samples from individuals of European and African American backgrounds, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The variant is found in NOONAN panel(s). -
