| Gene Description | BRAF, serine/threonine-protein kinase B-raf, is a member of the Raf family of serine/threonine protein kinases, which signals through the MAP kinase pathway to regulate cell proliferation and cell growth (PMID: 24737949, PMID: 29540830). BRAF mutations and fusions have been identified in a variety of cancers, including, colorectal (PMID: 30122982), lung (PMID: 29729495), thyroid (PMID: 12970315), and melanoma (PMID: 24737949), and a number of mutations have also been demonstrated to confer drug resistance (PMID: 27478040). | ||||||||||

V600R confers a gain of function to the Braf protein as demonstrated by increased Braf kinase activity, downstream signaling, and the ability to transform cells in culture (PMID: 15035987, PMID: 29533785). | |
| V600X | missense | unknown | BRAF V600X indicates any BRAF missense mutation that results in replacement of the valine (V) at amino acid 600 by a different amino acid. BRAF V600 mutations are hotspot mutations that often result in increased Braf kinase activity (PMID: 15035987). | |
| V600_K601delinsE | indel | gain of function | BRAF V600_K601delinsE results in the deletion of two amino acids formation of a new glutamic acid (E) residue in the protein kinase domain of the Braf protein between amino acids 600 and 601 (UniProt.org, PMID: 22563563). V600_K601delinsE leads to activation of downstream Mek and Erk signaling, increased colony formation (PMID: 17297294), and induces cell proliferation and cell viability in cell culture (PMID: 29533785). | |
| V600_K601delinsEN | indel | unknown | BRAF V600_K601delinsEN results in deletion of a valine (V) and a lysine (L) in the protein kinase domain of the Braf protein from amino acids 600 to 601, combined with the insertion of a glutamic acid (E) and an asparagine (N) at the same site (UniProt.org). V600_K601delinsEN has not been characterized and therefore, its effect on Braf protein function is unknown (PubMed, Dec 2023). | |
| V600_R603del | deletion | gain of function | BRAF V600_R603del results in the deletion of four amino acids of the Braf protein from amino acids 600 to 603 (UniProt.org). V600_R603del confers a gain of function to the Braf protein as demonstrated by increased downstream phosphorylation in culture, increased kinase activity in in vitro analyses, and induces TSH-independent proliferation in culture (PMID: 18697864). | |
| V639I | missense | no effect - predicted | BRAF V639I lies within the protein kinase domain of the Braf protein (UniProt.org). V639I has not been biochemically characterized, but results in similar cell proliferation and viability levels as wild-type Braf in culture (PMID: 29533785), and therefore, is predicted to have no effect on Braf protein function. | |
| V681I | missense | no effect - predicted | BRAF V681I lies within the protein kinase domain of the Braf protein (UniProt.org). V681I has not been biochemically characterized, but results in similar cell proliferation and viability levels as wild-type Braf in culture (PMID: 29533785), and therefore, is predicted to have no effect on Braf protein function. | |
| W450* | nonsense | loss of function - predicted | BRAF W450* results in a premature truncation the Braf protein at amino acid 450 of 766 (UniProt.org). Due to the loss of the protein kinase domain (UniProt.org), R450* is predicted to lead to a loss of Braf protein function. | |
| W531C | missense | unknown | BRAF W531C lies within the protein kinase domain of the Braf protein (UniProt.org). W531C results in the weak activation of MEK signaling and does not induce transformation in cell culture (PMID: 19206169), but in two different cell lines, W531C demonstrates increased cell proliferation and viability as compared to wild-type Braf (PMID: 29533785), and demonstrates increased Mek and Erk signaling in drosophila (PMID: 33855281), and therefore, its effect on Braf protein function is unknown. | |
| W604C | missense | unknown | BRAF W604C lies within the protein kinase domain of the Braf protein (UniProt.org). W604C has been identified in the scientific literature (PMID: 30926357, PMID: 26110571, PMID: 35050727), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Braf protein function is unknown (PubMed, Jan 2024). | |
| W604del | deletion | unknown | BRAF W604del results in the deletion of an amino acid in the protein kinase domain of the Braf protein at amino acid 604 (UniProt.org). W604del has been identified in sequencing studies (PMID: 15513360), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Braf protein function is unknown (PubMed, Dec 2023). | |

W604R has been identified in sequencing studies (PMID: 28188106, PMID: 21825258, PMID: 23833300), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Braf protein function is unknown (PubMed, Dec 2023). | |

W619R has been identified in the scientific literature (PMID: 16179870, PMID: 36579983), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Braf protein function is unknown (PubMed, Dec 2023). | |
| wild-type | none | no effect | Wild-type BRAF indicates that no mutation has been detected within the BRAF gene. | |
| Y472C | missense | unknown | BRAF Y472C lies within the protein kinase domain of the Braf protein (UniProt.org). Y472C results in impaired Braf kinase activity, but paradoxically increases Mek and Erk signaling through C-raf transactivation (PMID: 22649091), however in two different cell lines, Y472C induces similar cell proliferation and cell viability as compared to wild-type Braf (PMID: 29533785), and therefore, its effect on Braf protein function is unknown. | |
