Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2 Pathogenic:2
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health | Sep 27, 2024 | The c.1996A>G (p.Lys666Glu) variant in the RET gene is located on the exon 11 and is predicted to replace lysine with glutamine at codon 666 of the receptor tyrosine kinase RET. This variant has been reported in individuals with multiple endocrine neoplasia or medullary thyroid carcinoma with incomplete penetrance (PMID:15858153, 32375120, 25440022, 30927507). Functional studies showed increased kinase and transforming activities in transfected HEK293 cells (PMID: 21690267). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ID: 24931). Another missense variant affecting the same codon, c.1998G>C (p.Lys666Asn), has also been reported to be pathogenic/likely pathogenic (ClinVar ID: 230926). This variant has not been observed in the general population according to gnomAD database. Based on this evidence, the c.1996A>G (p.Lys666Glu) variant in the RET gene is classified as likely pathogenic. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 21, 2024 | This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 666 of the RET protein (p.Lys666Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with medullary thyroid cancer and pheochromocytoma (PMID: 15858153, 21690267, 30927507). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 24931). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RET function (PMID: 21690267). This variant disrupts the p.Lys666 amino acid residue in RET. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 20103606, 26269449, 27673361). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Aug 28, 2023 | The p.K666E pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1996A>G), located in coding exon 11 of the RET gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1996. The lysine at codon 666 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This mutation has been identified in three unrelated families with medullary thyroid cancer. In one family, 12 individuals were tested, and the mutation was observed to segregate with disease in 6/6 affected individuals (Ahmed SA et al. J Mol Diagn 2005;7:283-8). In an in vitro focus formation assay, the mutant protein demonstrated transforming activity and oncogenic potential at levels higher than wild type, but lower than the well-described pathogenic p.C634R mutation (Borrello MG et al. Endocr. Relat. Cancer 2011; 18:519-27). Another pathogenic alteration at this codon (p.K666N) has been described in a female with sporadic medullary thyroid cancer and was also observed to have increased oncogenic potential compared to the wild type (Muzza M et al. Eur J Endocrinol. 2010 Apr;162(4):771-7). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is pathogenic for MEN2; however, the association of this alteration with Hirschsprung disease is unknown. - |
