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]

Submissions by phenotype

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoJul 12, 2022DNA sequence analysis of the ALK gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.782G>A, in exon 2 that results in an amino acid change, p.Arg261Gln. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in individuals with ALK-related disorders. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.016% in the South Asian subpopulation and 0.0046% in the overall population (dbSNP rs375097381). The p.Arg261Gln change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the ALK protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Arg261Gln substitution. Due to insufficient evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Arg261Gln change remains unknown at this time. -
Neuroblastoma, susceptibility to, 3 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 11, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 261 of the ALK protein (p.Arg261Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs375097381, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ALK-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 404364). 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 tolerated. 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. -
ALK-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 23, 2022The ALK c.782G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg261Gln. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.016% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-29940449-C-T) and interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/404364/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
