Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points: 1P and 0B. PP2

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.1024A>G (p.Ile342Val) variant in BRAF has been identified in 0.005644% (2/35438) of Latino chromosomes in gnomAD v2.1.1. This variant has been observed in several individuals whose clinical presentations lacked clear associations with a RASopathy (Invitae internal data, SCV000820707.1; Fulgent internal data; Baylor internal data; Greenwood Genetic Center internal data). Of note, this variant has also been seen in apparently unaffected parental samples (n=8) evaluated during whole exome sequencing suggesting that this variant may be likely benign; however, these cases were not well-phenotyped and therefore do not meet current requirements for BS2 (BS2 not met; GeneDx internal data, SCV000617143.2). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for pathogenicity given the disease mechanism. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA4516829/MONDO:0021060/004

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]

RASopathy Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen RASopathy Variant Curation Expert PanelMar 19, 2020The c.1024A>G (p.Ile342Val) variant in BRAF has been identified in 0.005644% (2/35438) of Latino chromosomes in gnomAD v2.1.1. This variant has been observed in several individuals whose clinical presentations lacked clear associations with a RASopathy (Invitae internal data, SCV000820707.1; Fulgent internal data; Baylor internal data; Greenwood Genetic Center internal data). Of note, this variant has also been seen in apparently unaffected parental samples (n=8) evaluated during whole exome sequencing suggesting that this variant may be likely benign; however, these cases were not well-phenotyped and therefore do not meet current requirements for BS2 (BS2 not met; GeneDx internal data, SCV000617143.2). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for pathogenicity given the disease mechanism. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 18, 2023This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 342 of the BRAF protein (p.Ile342Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs201481342, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRAF-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 359048). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (Invitae) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRAF function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -
Noonan syndrome 7 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
