Genes affected

RAF1 (HGNC:9829): (Raf-1 proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase) This gene is the cellular homolog of viral raf gene (v-raf). The encoded protein is a MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K), which functions downstream of the Ras family of membrane associated GTPases to which it binds directly. Once activated, the cellular RAF1 protein can phosphorylate to activate the dual specificity protein kinases MEK1 and MEK2, which in turn phosphorylate to activate the serine/threonine specific protein kinases, ERK1 and ERK2. Activated ERKs are pleiotropic effectors of cell physiology and play an important role in the control of gene expression involved in the cell division cycle, apoptosis, cell differentiation and cell migration. Mutations in this gene are associated with Noonan syndrome 5 and LEOPARD syndrome 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

RAF1 links:

MKRN2 (HGNC:7113): (makorin ring finger protein 2) This gene encodes a probable E3 ubiquitin ligase containing several zinc finger domains, that is a member of the makorin RING zinc-finger protein family. This gene overlaps the v-raf-1 murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1 (RAF1) gene in an antisense orientation and may have a co-regulatory function with RAF1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]

Significance:Benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: RAF1 c.1668+4A>G alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict an impact on normal splicing: Five predict the no significant impact on splicing. Four predict the variant strengthens a cryptic intronic 5' donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00013 in 276966 control chromosomes (gnomAD), reported exclusively within the Latino subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0011 in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Latino control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 44 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in RAF1 causing Noonan Syndrome and Related Conditions phenotype (2.5e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Latino origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1668+4A>G in individuals affected with Noonan Syndrome and Related Conditions and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (2 calling it VUS, and one classifying it as likely benign, and the ClinGen expert panel has classified it as Benign). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance:Benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as 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. -
