Genes affected
ALK (HGNC:427): (ALK receptor tyrosine kinase) This gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase, which belongs to the insulin receptor superfamily. This protein comprises an extracellular domain, an hydrophobic stretch corresponding to a single pass transmembrane region, and an intracellular kinase domain. It plays an important role in the development of the brain and exerts its effects on specific neurons in the nervous system. This gene has been found to be rearranged, mutated, or amplified in a series of tumours including anaplastic large cell lymphomas, neuroblastoma, and non-small cell lung cancer. The chromosomal rearrangements are the most common genetic alterations in this gene, which result in creation of multiple fusion genes in tumourigenesis, including ALK (chromosome 2)/EML4 (chromosome 2), ALK/RANBP2 (chromosome 2), ALK/ATIC (chromosome 2), ALK/TFG (chromosome 3), ALK/NPM1 (chromosome 5), ALK/SQSTM1 (chromosome 5), ALK/KIF5B (chromosome 10), ALK/CLTC (chromosome 17), ALK/TPM4 (chromosome 19), and ALK/MSN (chromosome X).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1192 of the ALK protein (p.Arg1192Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ALK-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 823946). 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 does not substantially affect ALK function (PMID: 22086496). This variant disrupts the p.Arg1192 amino acid residue in ALK. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18724359, 18923523). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -

The p.R1192Q variant (also known as c.3575G>A), located in coding exon 23 of the ALK gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3575. The arginine at codon 1192 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. The mutant ALK protein R1192Q did not confer transformation potential to mouse embryonic fibroblasts grown in vitro as assessed by the foci formation assay when compared to a neuroblastoma-associated mutation (F1174L), and was suggested to be inactive with regard to tumor-promoting activity based on lack of Y1604 phosphorylation (McDuff FK et al. Mol. Carcinog. 2013 Jan;52:79-83). Of note, a different alteration at this amino acid position (R1192P) has been identified in multiple families with neuroblastic tumors (Moss&eacute; YP et al. Nature 2008 Oct;455:930-5; Janoueix-Lerosey I et al. Nature 2008 Oct;455:967-70). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
