RASopathy VCEP
The c.1781A>T (p.Asp594Val) variant in BRAF was absent from large population studies (PM2; gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The variant has been reported in 3 probands with clinical features of a RASopathy (PS4_Moderate; SCV000935844.1, SCV000965957.1, GeneDx internal data). In one proband, the variant was reported as de novo with confirmed parentage (PS2). The c.1781A>T (p.Asp594Val) variant is located in the CR3 activation segment of BRAF, which has been defined by the ClinGen RASopathy Expert Panel as a region important for protein function (PM1; PMID 29493581). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the variant may impact protein function (PP3). Finally, c.1781A>T (p.Asp594Val) 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). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for RASopathies in an autosomal dominant manner.
