Genes affected
HRAS (HGNC:5173): (HRas proto-oncogene, GTPase) This gene belongs to the Ras oncogene family, whose members are related to the transforming genes of mammalian sarcoma retroviruses. The products encoded by these genes function in signal transduction pathways. These proteins can bind GTP and GDP, and they have intrinsic GTPase activity. This protein undergoes a continuous cycle of de- and re-palmitoylation, which regulates its rapid exchange between the plasma membrane and the Golgi apparatus. Mutations in this gene cause Costello syndrome, a disease characterized by increased growth at the prenatal stage, growth deficiency at the postnatal stage, predisposition to tumor formation, cognitive disability, skin and musculoskeletal abnormalities, distinctive facial appearance and cardiovascular abnormalities. Defects in this gene are implicated in a variety of cancers, including bladder cancer, follicular thyroid cancer, and oral squamous cell carcinoma. Multiple transcript variants, which encode different isoforms, have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Arg169Trp varia nt has not been previously reported in the literature. This variant has been ide ntified in our laboratory in one other individual and that individual's reported ly unaffected parent. This suggests that this variant does not affect the normal function of HRAS. However, since individuals with Noonan spectrum disorders can have variable expressivity, we can not determine the clinical significance of t his variant conclusively at this time. -

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Missense variants in this gene are a common cause of disease and they are underrepresented in the general population; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign in association with a hereditary genetic disorder to our knowledge; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32333269, 38420094, 36358305, 39626160) -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 169 of the HRAS protein (p.Arg169Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs151229168, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with HRAS-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 177918). 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 not expected to disrupt HRAS protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R169W variant (also known as c.505C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the HRAS gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 505. The arginine at codon 169 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
