Genes affected

RIT1 (HGNC:10023): (Ras like without CAAX 1) This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of Ras-related GTPases. The encoded protein is involved in regulating p38 MAPK-dependent signaling cascades related to cellular stress. This protein also cooperates with nerve growth factor to promote neuronal development and regeneration. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0101 - Gain of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Noonan syndrome (MIM#615335). Disease-causing variants have been shown to result in increased phosphorylation of ERK1/2, increased transactivation of ELK1, and enhanced protein complex formation (PMID: 23791108, 29734338).

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 95 of the RIT1 protein (p.Gly95Ala). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Noonan syndrome (PMID: 2439608, 23791108, 25049390, 25124994, 26714497, 26757980, 27101134, 27109146). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 60509). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt RIT1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on RIT1 function (PMID: 23791108, 25049390, 27226556). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.78; 3Cnet: 0.95). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000060509). The variant has been previously reported as de novo in at least two similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 23791108, 26714497). The variant has been observed in multiple (>3) similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 23791108, 26714497). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

RIT1 NM_006912.5 exon 5 p.Gly95Ala (c.284G>C): This variant has been reported in the literature in at least 11 individuals with Noonan syndrome (Aoki 2013 PMID:23791108, Chen 2013 PMID:25049390, Bertola 2014 PMID:25124994, Gos 2014 PMID:24939608, Milosavljević 2016 PMID:27109146); two of these individuals were identified as de novo (Aoki 2013 PMID:23791108). This variant was also reported in at least 2 additional individuals with features of a RAS-opathy (Yaoita 2016 PMID:26714497) as de novo. This variant is not present in large control databases but is present in ClinVar with several labs classifying this variant as pathogenic (Variation ID:60509). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools support that this variant may impact the protein. In-vivo functional studies in zebrafish also support a deleterious effect of this variant (Aoki 2013 PMID:23791108). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The p.Gly112Ala variant in RIT1 (also reported as p.Gly95Ala on transcript NM_00 6912.5) has been reported in at least 9 individuals with clinical features of No onan syndrome including 2 de novo occurrences (Aoki 2013, Bertola 2014, Chen 201 4, Gos 2014), and was absent from large population studies. In vitro functional studies provide conflicting evidence on the impact of the p.Gly112Ala variant on protein function (Aoki 2013, Chen 2014), but these types of assays may not accu rately represent biological function. However, animal models in the zebrafish ha ve shown that this variant causes developmental anomalies similar to those seen in Noonan syndrome (Aoki 2013). In summary, this variant meets our criteria to b e classified as pathogenic for Noonan syndrome in an autosomal dominant manner ( http://www.partners.org/personalizedmedicine/LMM) based upon de novo occurrences , absence from controls, and functional evidence. -

The RIT1 c.335G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly112Ala. This variant is also referred to as p.Gly95Ala in an alternate transcript (NM_006912.6). This variant has been reported in at least 11 individuals with Noonan syndrome and was documented as a de novo event in at least two individuals (Aoki et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23791108; Bertola et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25124994; Chen et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25049390; Gos et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24939608; Milosavljević et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27109146). Functional studies provide conflicting evidence on the effect of this variant on RIT1 function (Aoki et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23791108; Chen et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25049390). In ClinVar, this variant has been interpreted as pathogenic by multiple clinical labs (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/60509/). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The p.G95A pathogenic mutation (also known as c.284G>C), located in coding exon 4 of the RIT1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 284. The glycine at codon 95 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been observed in multiple individuals with Noonan syndrome (Cavé H et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2016 08;24:1124-31; Milosavljevi D et al. Am. J. Med. Genet. A, 2016 07;170:1874-80; Chen PC et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 2014 Aug;111:11473-8; Bertola DR et al. Am. J. Med. Genet. A, 2014 Nov;164A:2952-7; Kouz K et al. Genet. Med., 2016 12;18:1226-1234; Gos M et al. Am. J. Med. Genet. A, 2014 Sep;164A:2310-6) and occurred de novo in three individuals with Noonan syndrome (Aoki Y et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2013 Jul;93:173-80; Yaoita M et al. Hum. Genet., 2016 Feb;135:209-22). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as a pathogenic mutation. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: RIT1 c.284G>C (p.Gly95Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the small GTP-binding protein domain (IPR005225), in the switch II region (Chen_2014) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251438 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.284G>C has been reported in the literature in heterozygous state in several individuals affected with Noonan Syndrome and Related Conditions, including confirmed de novo occurrences, and segregation with disease in at least 1 family (Aoki_2013, Chen_2014, Kouz_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Publications also reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated that the variant protein increases the activity of the RAS/MAPK pathway (Aoki_2013, Chen_2014). In addition, transfection of the variant into zebrafish embryos resulted in a variety of developmental defects, consistent with the disease phenotype observed in humans (Aoki_2013). Seven ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
