Genes affected
KITLG (HGNC:6343): (KIT ligand) This gene encodes the ligand of the tyrosine-kinase receptor encoded by the KIT locus. This ligand is a pleiotropic factor that acts in utero in germ cell and neural cell development, and hematopoiesis, all believed to reflect a role in cell migration. In adults, it functions pleiotropically, while mostly noted for its continued requirement in hematopoiesis. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.08272506 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.3, offset of 3, new splice context is: ctttcttctttttccggaAGaga. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
PP5
Variant 12-88506380-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-88506380-T-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 2504286.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0000591 (9/152172) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.000132 (9/68034). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000068. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 2 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
