Diagnostic, Oncogenic, Functional evidence:
Diagnostic: The study presents evidence that a germline mutation involving codon 600 of BRAF is associated with the development of cardio-facio-cutaneous (CFC) syndrome, indicating its role in defining a specific disease phenotype.
Oncogenic: The abstract discusses the somatic mutation p.V600E as frequently found in various tumors, suggesting that mutations at codon 600, including p.V600G, contribute to tumor development or progression, particularly in the context of cancer-associated mutations.
Functional: The in vitro analysis demonstrates that the p.V600G mutation alters the molecular function of BRAF by increasing ERK and ELK phosphorylation compared to wild-type BRAF, indicating a change in biochemical activity.
