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]

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign germline variant associated with KIT-related disorders to our knowledge; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22703879, 24968822, 28288036) -

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method:clinical testing

The KIT p.Gly565Val variant was identified in the literature in a melanoma sample, an olfactory neuroblastoma sample, a urinary bladder carcinoma and a patient with acute myeloid leukemia (Smalley_2009_PMID:18794803; Millis_2015_PMID:25178641; Nieto_2015_PMID:24968822; Topcagic_2018_PMID:29324814). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs200945282) and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics and Biesecker Lab/Clinical Genomics Section, National Institutes of Health, and as benign by Invitae). The variant was identified in control databases in 43 of 267700 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001606 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1, non-cancer). The variant was observed in the following populations: Ashkenazi Jewish in 37 of 9838 chromosomes (freq: 0.003761), Other in 2 of 6678 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003) and European (non-Finnish) in 4 of 117652 chromosomes (freq: 0.000034), but was not observed in the African, Latino, East Asian, European (Finnish), or South Asian populations. The p.Gly565 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
