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 Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jul 01, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on BRAF function (PMID: 16439621, 18413255, 19376813). 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 expected to disrupt BRAF protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 40387). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome (PMID: 16439621, 25463315). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 596 of the BRAF protein (p.Gly596Val). -

Pathogenic, reviewed by expert panel	curation	ClinGen RASopathy Variant Curation Expert Panel	Apr 03, 2017	The c.1787G>T (p.Gly596Val) variant in BRAF has been reported in the literature in at least 2 unconfirmed de novo occurrences in patients with clinical features of a RASopathy (PM6_Strong; PMID 16439621, 25463315, Partners LMM and GeneDx internal data; GTR ID's: 21766, 26957; ClinVar SCV000197137, SCV000057237). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Gly596Val variant may impact protein function (PS3; PMID 18413255). This variant was absent from large population studies (PM2; ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org). The variant is located in the BRAF gene, which has been defined by the ClinGen RASopathy Expert Panel as a gene with a low rate of benign missense variants and pathogenic missense variants are common (PP2; PMID 29493581). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Gly596Val variant may impact the protein (PP3). Furthermore, the variant is in a location that has been defined by the ClinGen RASopathy Expert Panel to be a mutational hotspot or domain of BRAF (PM1; PMID 29493581). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for RASopathies in an autosomal dominant manner. Rasopathy-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied (PMID:29493581): PM6_Strong, PS3, PM2, PP2, PP3, PM1. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	May 22, 2013	p.Gly596Val (GGT>GTT): c.1787 G>T in exon 15 of the BRAF gene (NM_004333.4). The G596V mutation in the BRAF gene has been previously reported in at least 4 unrelated patients with Cardio-Facio-Cutaneous syndrome (Rodriguez-Viciana et al., 2006). This mutation falls within the activation loop located within the third conserved region of the BRAF protein. The G596V mutation was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The variant is found in NOONAN panel(s). -

Noonan syndrome;C1275081:Cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome Pathogenic:1 Other:1

not provided, no classification provided	phenotyping only	GenomeConnect - CFC International	-	Variant interpreted as Pathogenic and reported on 12-03-2010 by Lab or GTR ID 21766. GenomeConnect-CFC International assertions are reported exactly as they appear on the patient-provided report from the testing laboratory. Registry team members make no attempt to reinterpret the clinical significance of the variant. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Sep 10, 2014	The Gly596Val variant has been identified in 7 individuals with clinical feature s of Cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome (CFC) and 3 individuals with clinical featu res of Noonan syndrome (Rodriguez-Viciana 2006, Yoon 2007, Rodriguez-Viciana 200 8, LMM unpublished data). It was absent from large population studies. In-vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the Gly596Val variant may impact p rotein function (Rodrigues-Viciana 2006). Furthermore, animal models in zebrafis h have shown that this variant causes severe developmental abnormalities (Anasta saki 2009). In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as path ogenic (http://personalizedmedicine.partners.org/Laboratory-For-Molecular-Medici ne/). -
