Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4BS2

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.92C>G variant in the BRAF gene is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of alanine by glycine at amino acid 31 (p.Ala31Gly). The minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4 of this variant is 0.01119% (128/1143560 alleles) for the European (non-Finnish) population (PM2_Supporting/BS1/BA1 are not met). The REVEL computational prediction analysis tool produced a score of 0.207, which meets the threshold for BP4 application. This variant has been identified in at least 1 individual with clinical features of a RASopathy (PS4 not met; Partners LMM internal data; GTR ID's 21766; SCV000061629.5). However, the p.Ala31Gly variant was observed in at least one healthy adult individual who did not have clinical features of a RASopathy (BS2; Partners LMM and GeneDx internal data; GTR ID's 21766, 26957; SCV000061629.5, SCV000207745.9). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely benign for autosomal dominant RASopathies based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen RASopathy Variant Curation Expert Panel: BS2, BP4 (Specification Version 2.1, 9/17/2024) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA135146/MONDO:0021060/049

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]

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

The c.92C>G variant in the BRAF gene is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of alanine by glycine at amino acid 31 (p.Ala31Gly). The minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4 of this variant is 0.01119% (128/1143560 alleles) for the European (non-Finnish) population (PM2_Supporting/BS1/BA1 are not met). The REVEL computational prediction analysis tool produced a score of 0.207, which meets the threshold for BP4 application. This variant has been identified in at least 1 individual with clinical features of a RASopathy (PS4 not met; Partners LMM internal data; GTR ID's 21766; SCV000061629.5). However, the p.Ala31Gly variant was observed in at least one healthy adult individual who did not have clinical features of a RASopathy (BS2; Partners LMM and GeneDx internal data; GTR ID's 21766, 26957; SCV000061629.5, SCV000207745.9). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely benign for autosomal dominant RASopathies based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen RASopathy Variant Curation Expert Panel: BS2, BP4 (Specification Version 2.1, 9/17/2024) -

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

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 31 of the BRAF protein (p.Ala31Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs397516906, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRAF-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 44833). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The glycine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

p.Ala31Gly in exon 1 of BRAF: This variant is not expected to have clinical sign ificance because although it has been identified by our laboratory in 1 Caucasia n child with clinical features of Noonan syndrome, it has been identified in 2 u naffected individuals. In addition, no pathogenic sequence variants in individua ls with Noonan spectrum disorders have been identified to date in this region of BRAF. -

This alteration is classified as likely 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. -
