Genes affected

MET (HGNC:7029): (MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase) This gene encodes a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family of proteins and the product of the proto-oncogene MET. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate alpha and beta subunits that are linked via disulfide bonds to form the mature receptor. Further processing of the beta subunit results in the formation of the M10 peptide, which has been shown to reduce lung fibrosis. Binding of its ligand, hepatocyte growth factor, induces dimerization and activation of the receptor, which plays a role in cellular survival, embryogenesis, and cellular migration and invasion. Mutations in this gene are associated with papillary renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and various head and neck cancers. Amplification and overexpression of this gene are also associated with multiple human cancers. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Variant summary: MET c.2638-7delC alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0016 in 239374 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 1050 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MET causing Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma phenotype (1.5e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.2638-7delC in individuals affected with Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Six ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as benign (n=2) and likely benign (n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
