The NM_002880.4(RAF1):c.770C>T (p.Ser257Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 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. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 10.00). Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV002521319: Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID:17603482, 20052757)." 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.S257T: Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 618340, 2 stars) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.S257= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1112676, 1 star); p.S257W: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 376514) This exact variant is established as oncogenic in: ClinVar, CGI (Cancer Genome Interpreter). The variant position is a cancer hotspot (cancerhotspots.org): 25 samples carry this exact amino acid change out of 50 samples with a variant at this residue. This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance, associated with Noonan syndrome 5 (ns5); it is also listed as a COSMIC curated somatic variant.

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]

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 19 points.

PS3Functional studies show damaging effect
Well-established functional study supports damaging effect (PS3); SCV002521319: Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 17603482, 20052757).; SCV004047601: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change leads to increased activation of MEK, ERK, and ELK in vitro (Razzaque et al., 2007).; SCV006059810: Functional evidence using transfected cells demonstrated that the variant impacts protein function (PMID: 17603482).; SCV000287743: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RAF1 function (PMID: 17603482, 20052757).; SCV000918146: Several publications reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, demonstrating increased kinase activity (Razzaque 2007), increased activation of MEK and ERK (Lee 2011) and altered signaling in cardiomyocytes consistent with that observed in cardiac hypertrophy (Dhandapany 2011).; SCV000616378: "In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Ser257Leu variant may impact protein function (PS3; PMID 17603482)."; SCV000209016: "Published functional studies demonstrate that S257L produces a gain of function effect with higher kinase activity than wild-type protein (Razzaque et al., 2007; Lee et al., 2011)"; SCV001473076: Functional characterization of the p.Ser257Leu variant protein indicates a loss of serine-259 phosphorylation and reduced association with 14-3-3 (Kobayashi 2010).; SCV002496785: PS3:Supporting; SCV005416118: "Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product."; SCV005685102: "kinase assays suggest that this variant results in impaired gene function" [PMID:17603482]; SCV001984841: Functional studies indicate that the p.Ser257Leu produces a gain-of-function effect with higher kinase activity than wild-type protein (PMID: 17603482).
