The variant received 4 classification points (ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025). O3_ModerateO6_SupportingO7_Supporting

The NM_005633.4(SOS1):c.508A>G (p.Lys170Glu) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The gene SOS1 is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 4 oncogene, 2 driver citations). The gene SOS1 is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 4 oncogene, 2 driver citations). The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 7.91). Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000062238: functional data indicates that this variant leads to gain-of-function (Lee 2011)" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.K170Q: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 2443406, 1 star) The variant has been observed in cBioPortal in 3 samples across 3 studies and 1 cancer type; somatic enrichment level: SUPPORTING_LOW (Observed in a small number of cBioPortal cases.). This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance.

Genes affected

SOS1 (HGNC:11187): (SOS Ras/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1) This gene encodes a protein that is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for RAS proteins, membrane proteins that bind guanine nucleotides and participate in signal transduction pathways. GTP binding activates and GTP hydrolysis inactivates RAS proteins. The product of this gene may regulate RAS proteins by facilitating the exchange of GTP for GDP. Mutations in this gene are associated with gingival fibromatosis 1 and Noonan syndrome type 4. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Specifications for SOS1 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 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])
	O6Computational evidence supports deleterious effect		Computational evidence supports a deleterious/oncogenic effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer supports an oncogenic/deleterious effect; Splice-region variant — splicing algorithms predict no impact; O6 not supported via splicing path
	O7Mutational hotspot or critical domain		Supporting: cancerhotspots.org hit, critical domain, or missense neighbourhood hotspot; No cancerhotspots.org hit at this position; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 3 pathogenic, 0 benign (OR vs. background: 35.0); Variant impacts a splice region, but computational evidence predicts no splicing impact (SPLICING_PREDICTED_NO_IMPACT) — splice-hotspot path suppressed
