Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PP3PP2PM1PM2PS4_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.739T>G (p.Phe247Val) variant in BRAF has been identified in at least 2 independent occurrences in patients with clinical features of a RASopathy (PS4_Supporting; Partners LMM, GeneDx internal data; GTR Lab IDs 21766, 26957; ClinVar SCV000061624.5, SCV000330320.6). This variant was absent from large population studies (PM2; gnomAD, http://gnomad.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). 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). A different pathogenic missense variant (p.Phe247Leu) has been previously identified at this codon of BRAF which may indicate that this residue is critical to the function of the protein (PM5 not usable due to PM1 application; ClinVar 180784, 55793). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Phe247Val variant may impact the protein (PP3). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for RASopathies in an autosomal dominant manner.

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]
