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: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• 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.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.37683457).

This sequence change replaces glutamine with arginine at codon 386 of the BRAF protein (p.Gln386Arg). The glutamine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamine and arginine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a BRAF-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. In summary, this variant is a novel missense change that is not predicted to affect protein function. There is no indication that it causes disease, but the available evidence is currently insufficient to prove that conclusively. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
