About NRAS

No gene-level summary was recorded for this case.

LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.
01The reasoning

How it was classified

The recorded framework is ClinGen NRAS VCEP v2.3.0. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.

Recorded applied criteria

The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.

Pathogenic evidence criteria: 6 Benign evidence criteria: 0
Pathogenic criteria applied · 6
PS1Strong
PS1 · strong

The p.Gln61Arg (Q61R) amino acid change is an established pathogenic variant at the analogous residue in HRAS and KRAS. The RASopathy VCEP explicitly allows PS1 at Strong strength for the same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant in HRAS, KRAS, MRAS, NRAS, RIT1, or RRAS2.

PS3Moderate
PS3 · moderate

The RASopathy VCEP has approved four functional assay types for NRAS: RAS Activation, MEK Activation, ERK Activation, and AKT Phosphorylation assays. The variant p.Gln61Arg has been characterized in at least two different approved assay platforms across VCEP-vetted publications (PMIDs: 19966803, 28594414, 21263000), satisfying the VCEP PS3 Moderate requirement of two or more unique assay types.

PM1Moderate
PM1 · moderate

The variant p.Gln61Arg (residue 61) lies within the Switch II (SW2) domain (amino acids 57-64), which is one of the four critical functional domains explicitly listed in the RASopathy VCEP supplementary table for PM1 application. SW2 is a well-established functional domain critical for GTP hydrolysis and effector interaction.

PM2Supporting
PM2 · supporting

The variant is absent from gnomAD population databases (v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada), meeting the RASopathy VCEP requirement for PM2 at Supporting strength. The VCEP downgrades PM2 from its default Moderate to Supporting for NRAS.

PM5Moderate
PM5 · moderate

Multiple alternative pathogenic residue changes at NRAS codon 61 have been established as pathogenic. N-RAS Q61K (c.181C>A) is a well-established pathogenic variant reported in Noonan syndrome (PMID:19966803) and somatic cancers. N-RAS Q61L (c.182A>T) is also pathogenic. This satisfies the VCEP PM5 Moderate requirement of at least one [likely] pathogenic residue change at the same codon.

PP3Supporting
PP3 · supporting

The REVEL score for this variant is 0.888, which is ≥0.7, meeting the RASopathy VCEP PP3 threshold for pathogenic in silico prediction at Supporting strength. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta = 0.01), which is consistent with a missense effect rather than splicing.

Benign criteria applied · 0

No benign criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.

Recorded classification: Pathogenic

NM_002524.5:c.182A>G (p.Gln61Arg) is a missense variant in exon 3 of NRAS affecting the critical Switch II domain (codon 61). This variant is absent from population databases (gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, gnomAD-Canada).

The p.Gln61Arg amino acid change is an established pathogenic variant at the analogous residue in HRAS and KRAS, satisfying PS1 at Strong strength per the RASopathy VCEP.

Functional studies approved by the RASopathy VCEP have characterized this variant across at least two independent assay platforms (RAS Activation, MEK Activation, ERK Activation, AKT Phosphorylation), supporting a gain-of-function mechanism consistent with RASopathy pathogenesis (PS3_Moderate).

The variant lies within the Switch II domain (AA 57-64), a VCEP-approved critical functional domain, satisfying PM1 at Moderate strength. Residue Q61 is the key catalytic glutamine that positions the water molecule for GTP hydrolysis.

Multiple alternative pathogenic residue changes at NRAS codon 61 (Q61K, Q61L, Q61H) are established in the literature, satisfying PM5 at Moderate strength per VCEP rules.

The variant is absent from gnomAD population databases, meeting PM2 at Supporting strength (VCEP-downgraded).

REVEL in silico prediction score of 0.888 exceeds the VCEP threshold of 0.7, supporting a deleterious effect (PP3).

Applying the RASopathy VCEP combination rules: one Strong criterion (PS1) and at least two Moderate criteria (PS3 + PM1 + PM5) satisfy Rule 7 or Rule 6 for Pathogenic classification. Alternatively, one Strong plus one Moderate plus two Supporting criteria may satisfy other rules. The evidence combination is consistent with a Pathogenic classification.
