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]

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24847623, 28074523, 24755198, 27437068, 12960119, 16908931, 18980976, 7530509, 15790786, 16731599, 19812602, 20736294, 21159146, 22357254, 11276010, 17372901, 25157968, 32782703, 9438854, 32716058, 25746950, 23776354, 17255767, 11505412, 16185297, 20952281, 15837988, 11208730) -

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor Pathogenic:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 559 of the KIT protein (p.Val559Ala). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with gastrointestinal stromal tumor syndrome (PMID: 11208730, 15837988, 24847623). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13865). 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. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1

Ambry Genetics
Significance: Likely pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.V559A variant (also known as c.1676T>C), located in coding exon 11 of the KIT gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1676. The valine at codon 559 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was reported in multiple individuals with features consistent with KIT-related gastrointestinal stromal tumor syndrome (Ambry internal data; Beghini A et al. Cancer, 2001 Aug;92:657-62; Maeyama H et al. Gastroenterology, 2001 Jan;120:210-5; Li FP et al. J Clin Oncol, 2005 Apr;23:2735-43; Adela Avila S et al. Acta Gastroenterol Latinoam, 2014 Mar;44:9-15; Gupta D et al. Int J Dermatol, 2017 Feb;56:195-201). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
