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]

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; In silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, suggests this variant may impact gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The KIT c.503C>T; p.Ala168Val variant (rs149092990), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature associated with familial gastrointestinal stromal tumors but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 134628). This variant is found in the African/African-American population with an allele frequency of 0.2% (52/24966 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Computational analyses (Alamut Visual Plus v.1.5.1) predict that this variant may impact splicing by creating a novel cryptic donor splice site. However, the splicing impact of this variant would need to be determined by functional studies. While the high population frequency suggests that this is likely a benign variant, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. -
