Comment:
Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome belongs to the group of RASopathies characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, congenital heart defects, ectodermal abnormalities and mental retardation. It overlaps phenotypically with Noonan and Costello syndrome, but can be differentiated from both diseases by the absence of arrhythmia. Skin findings such as ichthyosis, hyperkeratosis and keratosis pilaris are more characteristic of CFC than of Costello or Noonan syndromes, and may also help to distinguish them. (PMID:18039946) |

Diagnosis GeneReviews | Cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) syndrome is one the RASopathies: a group of syndromes having overlapping clinical features resulting from a common pathogenetic mechanism [Tidyman & Rauen 2009a]....

It is unclear at this time whether mutations in additional, unidentified genes cause CFC syndrome.2. The ability of the test method used to detect a mutation that is present in the indicated gene3. Examples of sequence variants include small intragenic deletions/insertions and missense, nonsense, and splice site mutations.4. Exons 2, 3, and 6 of MAP2K1, and exons 2, 3, and 7 of MAP2K2. Exons screened may vary among laboratories.5. Testing that identifies deletions/duplications not readily detectable by sequence analysis of the coding and flanking intronic regions of genomic DNA; included in the variety of methods that may be used are: quantitative PCR, long-range PCR, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), and chromosomal microarray (CMA) that includes this gene/chromosome segment.6. No exonic or whole-gene MAP2K1 deletions or duplications have been reported in CFC syndrome; therefore, the mutation detection rate is unknown and may be very low. 7. Several large deletions encompassing MAP2K2 have been identified in persons with CFC-like features [Author, personal observation]; however, no functional data are available to document that haploinsufficiency contributes to the phenotype. Interpretation of test results. If a mutation in BRAF, MAP2K1, MAP2K2, or KRAS is not identified in an individual who has phenotypic features consistent with the clinical diagnosis of CFC syndrome, reasons may include the following: Presence of a mutation in another gene associated with a similar but different phenotype, such as HRAS (Costello syndrome), PTPN11, SOS1, RAF1, NRAS, or SHOC2 (Noonan syndrome) Presence of a mutation in a gene affecting the Ras/MAPK pathway that has yet to be identified Presence of low-level tissue mosaicism, which to date has not been reported for CFC syndrome Testing-related issues. For issues to consider in interpretation of sequence analysis results, click here.Testing StrategyTo confirm/establish the diagnosis in a proband. Clinical evaluation should include detailed family history with a three-generation pedigree and detailed prenatal history. Identification of mutations in BRAF, MAP2K1, MAP2K2, or KRAS by direct gene sequencing establishes the diagnosis. Single gene testing. Based on current published information, sequencing can be approached stepwise: 1.Direct sequencing of the seven BRAF exons in which causative mutations have been identified (exons 6, 11-17). If no causal mutation is identified: 2.Direct sequencing of select exons of MAP2K1 (exons 2, 3, and 6) and MAP2K2 (exons 2, 3, and 7). If no causal mutation is identified: 3.Consider sequencing the remaining BRAF exons and remaining MAP2K1 and MAP2K2 exons in which causal mutations have not yet been reported. If no causal mutation is identified in BRAF, MAP2K1, and MAP2K2: 4.Direct sequencing of KRAS where additional causal mutations have been demonstrated in individuals with a phenotype that overlaps CFC syndrome. If no causal mutation is identified: 5.Direct sequencing of HRAS (all exons). Individuals who have an HRAS mutation by definition have Costello syndrome. 6.Consider array GH genome scanning for copy number variants. Rare deletions in MEK genes (i.e., MAP2K1 and MAP2K2) may cause phenotypic features that are reminiscent of CFC syndrome [Author, personal observation]. Multi-gene panel. Another strategy for molecular diagnosis of a proband suspected of having CFC syndrome is use of a multi-gene panel. The genes included and the methods used in multi-gene panels vary by laboratory and over time; a panel may not include a specific gene of interest. See Differential Diagnosis. Prenatal diagnosis and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for at-risk pregnancies require prior identification of the disease-causing mutation in the family.Genetically Related (Allelic) DisordersBRAF LEOPARD syndrome. BRAF mutations have been reported in a few individuals who had the clinical diagnosis of LEOPARD syndrome.Solid tumors. Somatic mutations in BRAF have been reported at a high frequency in numerous cancers including melanoma, thyroid, colorectal, and ovarian. The vast majority of BRAF mutations are missense substitutions found in (but not limited to) exon 11 (the glycine-rich loop) and exon 15 (the activation segment) in the B-Raf kinase domain [Wellbrock et al 2004]. One mutation, p.Val600Glu, which results in increased kinase activity, accounts for more than 90% of BRAF mutations identified in human cancer. Somatic B-Raf p.Val600Glu mutations are also found in benign nevi and premalignant colon polyps. The common p.Val600Glu cancer mutation has never been identified in CFC syndrome. However, a BRAF p.Val600Glu mutation has been reported recently in an individual with CFC syndrome [Champion et al 2011]. KRAS Cancer. Aberrant activation of Ras is frequently found in cancer, occurring in approximately 20% of all tumors. The vast majority of oncogenic mutations occur in mutation hotspots in codons 12, 13, or 61. These are not the same mutations found in Noonan syndrome or CFC syndrome. Point mutations in KRAS account for approximately 85% of mutations in the Ras gene family. NRAS (~15% of total) and HRAS (~1% of total) mutations are found less frequently. Amino acid substitutions caused by missense mutations in KRAS affect guanine nucleotide binding and cause a reduction of GTP hydrolysis, resulting in a gain of function of the protein. Noonan syndrome. KRAS mutations have been identified in fewer than 5% of individuals with the clinical diagnosis of Noonan syndrome [Carta et al 2006, Schubbert et al 2006, Zenker et al 2007]. MAP2K1, MAP2K2The first functional MAP2K1 mutation, p.Asp67Asn, was identified in an ovarian cancer cell line with functional studies determining that this mutant protein has increased activity as measured by an increase in ERK phosphorylation [Estep et al 2007]. Subsequently, MAP2K1 p.Lys57Asn mutations were identified in non-small-cell lung carcinoma [Marks et al 2008].
