Genes affected

ALK (HGNC:427): (ALK receptor tyrosine kinase) This gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase, which belongs to the insulin receptor superfamily. This protein comprises an extracellular domain, an hydrophobic stretch corresponding to a single pass transmembrane region, and an intracellular kinase domain. It plays an important role in the development of the brain and exerts its effects on specific neurons in the nervous system. This gene has been found to be rearranged, mutated, or amplified in a series of tumours including anaplastic large cell lymphomas, neuroblastoma, and non-small cell lung cancer. The chromosomal rearrangements are the most common genetic alterations in this gene, which result in creation of multiple fusion genes in tumourigenesis, including ALK (chromosome 2)/EML4 (chromosome 2), ALK/RANBP2 (chromosome 2), ALK/ATIC (chromosome 2), ALK/TFG (chromosome 3), ALK/NPM1 (chromosome 5), ALK/SQSTM1 (chromosome 5), ALK/KIF5B (chromosome 10), ALK/CLTC (chromosome 17), ALK/TPM4 (chromosome 19), and ALK/MSN (chromosome X).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

CLIP4 (HGNC:26108): (CAP-Gly domain containing linker protein family member 4) Predicted to enable microtubule plus-end binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cytoplasmic microtubule organization. Located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ALK-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change disrupts the translational stop signal of the ALK mRNA. It is expected to extend the length of the ALK protein by 41 additional amino acid residues. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
