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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesDec 08, 2019The RET c.1852T>G; p.Cys618Gly variant (rs76262710), also known in the literature as Cys364Gly, has been reported in several families with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A) and/or familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC) (Frank-Raue 2011, Heizmann 2006, Machens 2008, Mulligan 1993, Paszko 2007, Romei 2010, Quayle 2007). Functional assays show the variant to have transforming activity and results in decreased cell surface expression (Ito 1997). This variant is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 13905), and is absent from general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database). The cysteine at codon 618 is highly conserved, and computational algorithms (SIFT, PolyPhen2, MutationTaster) predict this variant to be damaging to the protein. Taken together, this variant is considered pathogenic. References: Frank-Raue K et al.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 06, 2022Variant summary: RET c.1852T>G (p.Cys618Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 249114 control chromosomes. c.1852T>G has been widely reported in the literature in multiple individuals and families affected with Familial Medullary Carcinoma od the Thyroid (FMTC) and features of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2A (MEN2A) (example, Frank-Raue_1996, Machens_2001, Okeefe_1998, Mulligan_1993). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function demonstrating an increased ability to transform NIH-3T3 cells in-vitro (example, Ito_1997). Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteOct 19, 2020Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.3, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Loss of function and gain of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene and are associated with Hirschsprung disease (MIM#142623) and medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) (MIM#155240), respectively (OMIM). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance. Carriers of this variant may or may not develop MTC, it is regarded as high risk for disease onset (PMID: 29656518, OMIM). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity, however these variants are more likely to cause Hirschsprung’s disease (OMIM). 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from cysteine to glycine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0309 – Two alternative amino acid changes at the same position have been observed in gnomAD (v2) (highest allele count: 1 heterozygote, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0602 - Variant is located in a hotspot region or cluster of pathogenic variants (Decipher). (SP) 0701 - Other missense variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. Multiple alternative missense changes at codon 618 are reported as pathogenic (ClinVar), and it is described as the most commonly mutated residue in patients with familial MTC (PMID: 29656518). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported as pathogenic, and observed in many individuals with multiple endocrine neoplasia or MTC (ClinVar, PMID: 29656518, PMID: 18058472).

Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 24, 2024This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 618 of the RET protein (p.Cys618Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with medullary thyroid cancer and pheochromocytoma and Hirschsprung’s disease (PMID: 8099202, 8626834, 18058472, 18062802, 18063059, 20041006, 20516206). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.Cys364Gly in some of the older literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13905). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RET function (PMID: 7824936, 9174404, 9230192, 9879991). This variant disrupts the p.Cys618 amino acid residue in RET. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7835899, 7915165, 9498388, 9839497, 15858153, 20979234). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 09, 2022The p.C618G pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1852T>G), located in coding exon 10 of the RET gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 1852. The cysteine at codon 618 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This mutation is located in the RET extracellular domain and has been associated with both MEN2A and FMTC phenotypes (Mulligan LM et al. Nature. 1993;363(6428): 458-60; Paszko Z et al. Cancer Invest. 2007;25(8):742-49; Machens A & Dralle H. Clin. Endocrinol. (Oxf) 2008 Jul;69(1):81-7; Frank-Raue K et al. Hum Mutat. 2011;32(1):51-58). Of note, this mutation is also designated as p.C364G in published literature. Several other alterations at this codon, including p.C618R, p.C618S, and p.C618F, have also been described as pathogenic. The American Thyroid Association Guidelines Task Force has provided recommendations for individuals with RET gene mutations (Wells SA et al. Thyroid. 2015 Jun; 25(6):567-610). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as a pathogenic mutation. -
