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]

RET (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.0425 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a RET-related disease. Experimental studies have not been published for this variant, and the functional effect of this truncation is unknown. In summary, this is a novel truncation in the last exon of RET, with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This sequence change deletes 1 nucleotide from exon 20 of the RET mRNA (c.3203delA), causing a frameshift at codon 1068. This creates a premature translational stop signal in the last exon of the RET mRNA (p.Asn1068Thrfs*41). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to result in a truncated RET protein. -
