Genes affected
KIT (HGNC:6342): (KIT proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase) This gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase. This gene was initially identified as a homolog of the feline sarcoma viral oncogene v-kit and is often referred to as proto-oncogene c-Kit. The canonical form of this glycosylated transmembrane protein has an N-terminal extracellular region with five immunoglobulin-like domains, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain at the C-terminus. Upon activation by its cytokine ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), this protein phosphorylates multiple intracellular proteins that play a role in in the proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis of many cell types and thereby plays an important role in hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, melanogenesis, and in mast cell development, migration and function. This protein can be a membrane-bound or soluble protein. Mutations in this gene are associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumors, mast cell disease, acute myelogenous leukemia, and piebaldism. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP2
Missense variant in the KIT gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 54 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 7 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 2.5806 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.1549 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to piebaldism, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, mastocytosis, cutaneous mastocytosis.

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 4 of the KIT protein (p.Ala4Phe). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KIT-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 528568). 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 disruptive. 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. -
