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 v1.0. 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: 5 Benign evidence criteria: 0
Pathogenic criteria applied · 5
PM1Moderate
PM1 · moderate

Residue Q61 is located within the Switch II functional domain (HRAS 57-64), which is explicitly listed as an approved PM1 functional domain in the RASopathy VCEP supplemental material (Alignment-with-PM1-domains). Q61 is also a statistically significant missense hotspot at cancerhotspots.org. NRAS is in the VCEP Group 1 analogous genes (HRAS, NRAS, KRAS).

PM2Moderate
PM2 · moderate

This variant is completely absent from all population databases surveyed (gnomAD v2.1, gnomAD v4.1, gnomAD-Canada v1.0), satisfying the RASopathy VCEP requirement that the variant must be completely absent from all population databases.

PM5Moderate
PM5 · moderate

Multiple different pathogenic missense changes at NRAS codon Q61 are established in the RASopathy spectrum (e.g., Q61R, Q61K, Q61L in HRAS/KRAS/NRAS). These are well-characterized gain-of-function pathogenic variants at the same residue. Q61H (His) is a non-conservative substitution concordant with the pathogenic direction of other Q61 missense changes. The VCEP mutual-exclusion rule (PM5 not to be used with PM1 when residue is a designated hotspot) does not apply here because Q61 is not individually designated as a mutational hotspot in the PM1 supplemental material — only the Switch II domain (57-64) is listed.

PP2Supporting
PP2 · supporting

PP2 is explicitly applicable to all RASopathy genes described and curated by the VCEP, including NRAS. This is a missense variant in a gene where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (gain-of-function), with a low rate of benign missense variation at critical residues.

PP3Supporting
PP3 · supporting

Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect. REVEL score 0.742 predicts damaging. Residue Q61 is a statistically significant cancer hotspot (cancerhotspots.org). COSMIC reports 168 somatic occurrences at this position. OncoKB classifies as Oncogenic. SpliceAI max delta 0.00 indicates no cryptic splice impact. BayesDel 0.130 is discordant but REVEL and hotspot evidence together provide multiple independent lines of computational support.

Benign criteria applied · 0

No benign criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.

Recorded classification: Likely pathogenic

ClinGen RASopathy Expert Panel Specifications to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines Version 1.0 v1.0 lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PM1 moderate, PM2 moderate, PM5 moderate, PP2 supporting, PP3 supporting; combination = 3 moderate + 2 supporting, which maps to Likely Pathogenic.

NM_002524.5:c.183A>T (p.Gln61His) in NRAS is a missense variant in the Switch II functional domain (HRAS 57-64), a critical GTPase region where pathogenic gain-of-function variants are well-established in the RASopathy spectrum.

This variant is completely absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada population databases, meeting the RASopathy VCEP requirement for PM2 at moderate strength.

Multiple different pathogenic missense variants at NRAS codon Q61 (Q61R, Q61K, Q61L) are established in the RASopathy spectrum, supporting PM5 at moderate strength.

PP2 is applicable to all RASopathy genes per VCEP specification, reflecting the low rate of benign missense variation in these genes.

REVEL predicts a damaging effect (score 0.742), and Q61 is a statistically significant cancer hotspot (cancerhotspots.org), supporting PP3 at supporting strength.

This variant has been reported in ClinVar with conflicting classifications: Pathogenic (1 submitter, GeneDx) and Uncertain significance (1 submitter, Hospital for Sick Children). No expert panel review is available.

NRAS Q61H is a well-established somatic oncogenic mutation reported 168 times in COSMIC and classified as Oncogenic (gain-of-function) by OncoKB. Functional studies per the VCEP-approved assay framework exist for NRAS but were not directly verified for this variant in the case materials.

  • Oncogenic and wild-type Ras play divergent roles in the regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling.
    Young A et al. · 2013
    NRAS Q61H is explicitly identified as the oncogenic driver in the RD rhabdomyosarcoma cell line. The study demonstrates that oncogenic N-Ras Q61H regulates basal MAPK signaling and negatively regulates EGFR sensitivity, while wild-type Ras isoforms mediate growth factor-induced signaling. Both oncogenic and wild-type Ras are required for optimal proliferation of NRAS Q61H-mutant cells.
