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]

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.68).

BP6

Variant 10-43111380-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr10-43111380-C-T is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 136100.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

BP7

Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.093 with no splicing effect.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000118 (18/152314) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.000784 (12/15306). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000452. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 8 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 34. This position passed quality control check.
