Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points: 7P and 1B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 BP4

The NM_004333.6(BRAF):​c.731C>G​(p.Thr244Ser) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T244P) has been classified as Pathogenic. The gene BRAF is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

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

Specifications for BRAF are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 17 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_004333.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr7-140801542-T-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 40346.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
• 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, Costello syndrome, Noonan syndrome 7, Noonan syndrome-like disorder with loose anagen hair, cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome 1, cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines, Noonan syndrome, anaplastic astrocytoma.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.34480572).
