The NM_005343.4(HRAS):c.37G>C (p.Gly13Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The gene HRAS is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 125 oncogene, 53 driver citations). The gene HRAS is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 125 oncogene, 53 driver citations). The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV005902203: "functional studies show that this variant results in activation of the Ras-Raf-MAPK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways with increased cellular proliferation" (Groesser L et al., PMID:22683711)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.G13D: Pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 12604, 2 stars) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.G13P: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 1677304, 0 stars) This variant is listed in the SVIG-UK Canonical Variants List — a curated registry of well-established oncogenic variants (O1 criterion, stand-alone Oncogenic). This exact variant is established as oncogenic in: ClinVar, CGI (Cancer Genome Interpreter). The variant position is a cancer hotspot (cancerhotspots.org): 75 samples carry this exact amino acid change out of 600 samples with a variant at this residue. The variant has been observed in cBioPortal in 146 samples across 57 studies and 38 cancer types; somatic enrichment level: MODERATE (Observed in many cases across multiple studies/cancer contexts.). This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance; it is also listed as a COSMIC curated somatic variant.

Genes affected
HRAS (HGNC:5173): (HRas proto-oncogene, GTPase) This gene belongs to the Ras oncogene family, whose members are related to the transforming genes of mammalian sarcoma retroviruses. The products encoded by these genes function in signal transduction pathways. These proteins can bind GTP and GDP, and they have intrinsic GTPase activity. This protein undergoes a continuous cycle of de- and re-palmitoylation, which regulates its rapid exchange between the plasma membrane and the Golgi apparatus. Mutations in this gene cause Costello syndrome, a disease characterized by increased growth at the prenatal stage, growth deficiency at the postnatal stage, predisposition to tumor formation, cognitive disability, skin and musculoskeletal abnormalities, distinctive facial appearance and cardiovascular abnormalities. Defects in this gene are implicated in a variety of cancers, including bladder cancer, follicular thyroid cancer, and oral squamous cell carcinoma. Multiple transcript variants, which encode different isoforms, have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 26 points.

O1
Variant on SVIG-UK Canonical Variants List — Stand-alone Oncogenic (O1); ClinVar oncogenic AND CGI oncogenic — two independent sources, Very Strong (O1); CGI exact DNA-change oncogenic — Strong (O1); O1 contributing sources (16.0 pts): SVIG-UK Canonical Variants List, ClinVar SCI Tier I Strong (★★), CGI (Cancer Genome Interpreter)
O3
Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
O4
Enriched in cBioPortal (pre-computed score ≥ 2.0) — Moderate (O4); cBioPortal: samples=146 | studies=57 | cancer types=38 | level=MODERATE | points=2.0 | reason: Observed in many cases across multiple studies/cancer contexts.
O5
Different AA at same residue with oncogenic evidence (or germline P/LP in TSG), or same AA change SCI Tier II Potential — Supporting (O5); ClinVar same-AA oncogenic/T1: false | ClinVar same-AA SCI tier: — | CGI same-AA oncogenic: false | TSG: false | ClinVar same-AA germline P/LP: false | CIViC LOF: false | ClinVar diff-AA oncogenic: true | ClinVar diff-AA germline P/LP: true
O6
Computational evidence supports a deleterious/oncogenic effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer supports an oncogenic/deleterious effect
O7
Strong hotspot (cancerhotspots.org): >50 total samples, ≥10 same AA change; Note: exclude MSK/TCGA-derived samples from cancerhotspots count to avoid double-counting with O4; cancerhotspots.org: total samples at AA position = 600, same AA change = 75; Exclude MSK/TCGA-derived samples from count to avoid double-counting with O4; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 11 pathogenic, 0 benign (OR vs. background: 115.0); Variant does not impact splicing — splice-hotspot path not applicable
