Evidence submitted by expert panel
RASopathy VCEP
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.
