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]

The KIT c.2836C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg946*). This variant was reported as a likely pathogenic variant in the heterozygous condition in two individuals with breast cancer (Supplementary Table S3, Sun et al 2017. PubMed ID: 28724667). This variant was also reported in three individuals with primary lung or colon cancer (Table 2, Ow et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31350202). This variant is reported in 0.025% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/4-55604628-C-T) and is interpreted as a variant of uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/576610/). Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg946*) in the KIT gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 31 amino acid(s) of the KIT protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs139000082, gnomAD 0.03%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer (PMID: 28724667, 31350202). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 576610). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -

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. -
