Genes affected
RET (HGNC:9967): (ret proto-oncogene) This gene encodes a transmembrane receptor and member of the tyrosine protein kinase family of proteins. Binding of ligands such as GDNF (glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor) and other related proteins to the encoded receptor stimulates receptor dimerization and activation of downstream signaling pathways that play a role in cell differentiation, growth, migration and survival. The encoded receptor is important in development of the nervous system, and the development of organs and tissues derived from the neural crest. This proto-oncogene can undergo oncogenic activation through both cytogenetic rearrangement and activating point mutations. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hirschsprung disease and central hypoventilation syndrome and have been identified in patients with renal agenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2017]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 21, 2024The p.V202M variant (also known as c.604G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the RET gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 604. The valine at codon 202 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been identified in a patient with Hirschsprung disease (Julies MG et al. Eur J Hum Genet, 2001 Jun;9:419-23), and was detected in a patient with parathyroid carcinoma at age 35 (Storvall S et al. Cancers (Basel), 2023 Feb;15). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on data from gnomAD, the frequency for this variant is above the maximum credible frequency for an MEN2 disease-causing variant in this gene based on internally established thresholds (Karczewski et al. Nature. 2020 May;581(7809):434-443; Whiffin et al. Genet Med. 2017 10;19:1151-1158). Based on the supporting evidence, the association of this alteration with Hirschsprung disease is unknown; however, the association of this alteration with MEN2 is unlikely. -

Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 24, 2024This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 202 of the RET protein (p.Val202Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs751572082, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Hirschsprung disease or parathyroid neoplasms (PMID: 11436122, 36900197). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184536). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The methionine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

RET-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesDec 19, 2023The RET c.604G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val202Met. This variant has been reported in two individuals with Hirschsprung’s disease and an individual with parathyroid cancer (Table 1, Julies et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11436122; Moore. 2008. Trends in Medical Research, 3(1): 31-35; Tabl 2, Storvall et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 36900197). This variant is reported in 0.020% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD. It is interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/184536/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
