Description
Variant summary: The BRAF c.1741A>G (p.Asn581Asp) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide and is located in the catalytic loop of the protein kinase domain (InterPro, Niihori_2006). 3/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant is absent in approximately 121424 control chromosomes. In literature, this variant is reported as a pathogenic variant found in several patients with cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome, including reported de novo occurrences (Niihori_2006, Rodriguez-Viciana_2006, Narumi_2007, Nava_2007, Schulz_2008, Pierpont _2010, Hazan_2012, Quaio_2013). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as pathogenic. Functional studies in zebra fish have shown that the N581D variant results in developmental defects that can be rescued by FGF-MAPK pathway inhibitors (Anastasaki_2009). Taken together, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
