The variant received 2 classification points (ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025). O3_Moderate

The NM_003482.4(KMT2D):c.6510A>C (p.Gln2170His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The gene KMT2D is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 29 TSG, 29 oncogene, 10 driver citations). The gene KMT2D is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 29 TSG, 29 oncogene, 10 driver citations). The gene KMT2D is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 29 TSG, 29 oncogene, 10 driver citations). The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.00000146 (AC=2) in the gnomAD database across 1,366,058 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000114. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign/Likely Benign (no review stars). Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.Q2170E: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 1473850); p.Q2170K: Benign (ClinVar VariationId 3635145, 1 star) The variant has been observed in cBioPortal in 1 sample across 1 study and 1 cancer type; somatic enrichment level: NONE (Observed in at most one deduplicated cBioPortal case.).

Genes affected

KMT2D (HGNC:7133): (lysine methyltransferase 2D) The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that methylates the Lys-4 position of histone H3. The encoded protein is part of a large protein complex called ASCOM, which has been shown to be a transcriptional regulator of the beta-globin and estrogen receptor genes. Mutations in this gene have been shown to be a cause of Kabuki syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
