The NM_000222.3(KIT):c.2447_2448delACinsCA (p.Asp816Ala) variant causes a missense change. The gene KIT is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 3 TSG, 792 oncogene, 258 driver citations). The gene KIT is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 3 TSG, 792 oncogene, 258 driver citations). Note: allele frequency estimates from gnomAD may be inaccurate for this variant type (MNP or indel longer than 3 bp) due to technology limitations. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 9.22). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.D816H: Pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 13863, 2 stars) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.D816= (synonymous): Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 286360); p.D816G: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 1968176, 1 star); p.D816Y: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 13860, 1 star) The same amino acid change has been reported as oncogenic or likely oncogenic in a clinical somatic variant database. The variant position is a cancer hotspot (cancerhotspots.org): 22 samples carry this exact amino acid change out of 88 samples with a variant at this residue.

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]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 8 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
