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]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Nov 25, 2019	Variant summary: BRAF c.-19C>T is located in the untranslated mRNA region upstream of the initiation codon. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0011 in 86066 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 455-folds over the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in BRAF causing Noonan Syndrome and Related Conditions phenotype (2.5e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. Two ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant once as likely benign and once as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Jun 01, 2011	-19C>T in the 5'UTR of BRAF: This variant has been reported in dbSNP in 2.3% (1/ 44) Hispanic chromosomes and 4.2% (1/24) Black chromosomes (rs71645935). This va riant is located in the 5'UTR and variants in regulatory regions could have an e ffect on transcriptional or translational efficiency. However, no variants in th is region of BRAF have been found to be pathogenic in individuals with Noonan sp ectrum disorders.Therefore, this variant is not expected to have clinical signif icance. -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

This 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 and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -
