Description
The c.788T>G (p.Val263Gly) variant in RAF1 has been reported in the literature as an unconfirmed de novo occurrence in a patient with clinical features of a RASopathy (PM6; GeneDx internal data; GTR ID: 26957; ClinVar SCV000061370.9). The p.Val263Gly variant has been identified in 6 other independent occurrences in patients with a RASopathy (PS4 not met; Partners LMM, Blueprint genetics, Institute of Human Genetics, Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, APHP-Robert Debré Hospital internal data; GTR ID's: 21766, 500188, 506381, 28338; ClinVar SCV000209021.9, SCV000207170.1). This variant was absent from large population studies (PM2; ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org). A different pathogenic missense variant has been previously identified at this codon of RAF1 which may indicate that this residue is critical to the function of the protein (PM5; ClinVar 496189, 40608). 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 RAF1 (PM1; PMID 29493581). The variant is located in the RAF1 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.Val263Gly 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. RASopathy-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied (PMID:29493581): PM6, PM5, PM2, PM1, PP3, PP2.
