Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM2 PM6 PP2 PP3 PS4_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.1595G>A (p.Cys532Tyr) variant in BRAF has been observed in three probands with RASopathies (PS4_Moderate; Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Hopital Universitaire Robert Debre internal data, ClinVar SCV000197143.4) It has also been seen as an unconfirmed de novo occurrence in a patient with clinical features of a RASopathy (PM6; EGL internal data, ClinVar SCV000112809.8). This variant was absent from large population studies (PM2; gnomad.broadinstitute.org). 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; PMID:29493581). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Cys532Tyr variant may impact the protein (PP3). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for RASopathies in an autosomal dominant manner. Rasopathy-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied (PMID:29493581): PS4_Moderate, PM2, PM6, PP2, PP3. LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA175337/MONDO:0021060/004

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]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRAF protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 40380). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of BRAF-related conditions (PMID: 31785789; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 532 of the BRAF protein (p.Cys532Tyr). -

The c.1595G>A (p.Cys532Tyr) variant in BRAF has been reported in the literature as an unconfirmed de novo occurrence in a patient with clinical features of a RASopathy (PM6; Partners LMM, GeneDx, EGL internal data; GTR ID's: 21766, 26957, 500060; SCV000112809.7, SCV000057229.13, SCV000197143.4). This variant was absent from large population studies (PM2; ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org). 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; PMID: 29493581). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Cys532Tyr variant may impact the protein (PP3).
