Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001374258.1(BRAF):​c.1567A>C​(p.Lys523Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. K523N) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 7 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 7 uncertain in NM_001374258.1
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr7-140778059-T-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 177878.
• PP2: Missense variant in the BRAF gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 139 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 21 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.7208 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.9008 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines, Noonan syndrome, cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome 1, Noonan syndrome 7, LEOPARD syndrome 3, anaplastic astrocytoma, Costello syndrome.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.953
• PP5: Variant 7-140778061-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-140778061-T-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 40369.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The Lys483Gln variant in BRAF has been identified in one proband with clinical f eatures of Cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome, and was not identified in either of this individual's parents (LMM unpublished data). This variant has not been iden tified in large population studies. In addition, another variant at the same res idue (Lys483Asn) was identified as a de novo variant in an individual with featu res of a Noonan spectrum disorder (LMM unpublished data). Computational analyses (biochemical amino acid properties, conservation, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIF T) suggest that the Lys483Gln variant may impact the normal function of the prot ein. In summary, this variant is likely pathogenic, though additional studies ar e required to fully establish its clinical significance. -
