Variant summary: RET c.1946C>T (p.Ser649Leu) 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 allele was found at a frequency of 0.00034 in 251656 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 61 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in RET causing Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2/Familial Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma phenotype (5.6e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.1946C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with sporadic/familial Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma/Hirschsprung's disease and in some instances in unaffected family members when tested (example, Wiench_2001, Vierhapper_2004, Colombo-Benkmann_2008, deGroot_2006, Vaclavikova_2009, Waldman_2009, Erlic_2010, Innella_2020). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. Multiple co-occurrences in trans with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported in the citations ascertained above (example, RET c.1902C>G, p.Cys634Trp; RET c.1901G>A, p.Cys634Tyr; RET c.2410G>A, p.Val804Met; RET c.2410G>C, p.Val804Leu), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Colombo-Benkmann_2008). The most pronounced variant effect results in a mild transforming potential and constitutive TK activity, and stimulation of growth of NIH3T3 cells. This resulted in its classification as a level 1 RET variant, namely low penetrance of MTC, a relatively low aggressive potential of the disease (level 1), and rare further endocrinopathies. In summary, this was historically considered a "mild" mutation in MTC since penetrance seemed quite low, disease phenotype was milder than in MEN2/2A, and prognosis was good in patients with this variant; however, the interpretation changed when Erlic_2010 reported data strongly suggesting it is NOT pathogenic: 1) variant was incidentally found in the healthy sister of a p.C634Y MTC/PHEO patient during family testing for p.C634Y; 2) variant was found at significant frequencies in European and American normals. The non-pathogenicity of this variant is supported by the fact that in multiple reported MTC cases, it has co-occurred with true pathogenic variants, with reports that the two mutations together did not aggravate disease. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation with conflicting assessments but a majority concordance towards a benign/likely benign outcome (n=8) (VUS, n=6). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
- -
This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
Variant identified in a genome or exome case(s) and assessed due to predicted null impact of the variant or pathogenic assertions in the literature or databases. Disclaimer: This variant has not undergone full assessment. The following are preliminary notes: This variant has been classified as DM in HGMD related to elevated basal serum calcitonin. It has been reported in 12 papers, with 2 related to Hirschprung disease. The comments suggest that it is not pathogenic. This variant is present at 0.05% in ExAC. It is classified in ClinVar with 1 star as Likely benign/Benign by Invitae and Children's Mercy Hospital, and as VUS by Ambry and ARUP. Variant occurs at greater frequency in population than expected for disorder -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:2
- -
- -
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A Benign:3
This variant is considered likely benign. This variant has been observed at a population frequency that is significantly greater than expected given the associated disease prevalence and penetrance. -

Appendicitis Uncertain:1

Pheochromocytoma Uncertain:1
This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Renal hypodysplasia/aplasia 1 Benign:1
This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
