Description
The I326T variant of uncertain significance in the BRAF gene has not been published as pathogenic in association with cardiomyopathy or been reported as benign to our knowledge. The I326T variant is observed in 4/24034 (0.02%) alleles from individuals of African background in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). This variant has also been identified in conjunction with additional cardiogenetic variants in one other individual referred for cardiac genetic testing at GeneDx; however, thus far, segregation data is limited or absent due to the lack of clinical information provided and/or insufficient participation by informative family members. The I326T variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. However, in-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support that this variant does not alter protein structure/function.
