The NM_001354604.2(MITF):c.881-7T>C variant causes a splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The gene MITF is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 5 TSG, 218 oncogene, 40 driver citations). The gene MITF is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 5 TSG, 218 oncogene, 40 driver citations). The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.000000685 (AC=1) in the gnomAD database across 1,460,078 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000116. In-silico predictor (BayesDel (noAF)) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign/Likely Benign (★).

Genes affected

MITF (HGNC:7105): (melanocyte inducing transcription factor) The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that contains both basic helix-loop-helix and leucine zipper structural features. The encoded protein regulates melanocyte development and is responsible for pigment cell-specific transcription of the melanogenesis enzyme genes. Heterozygous mutations in the this gene cause auditory-pigmentary syndromes, such as Waardenburg syndrome type 2 and Tietz syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 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 = 0.000012, AC = 1 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
	B3Computational evidence does not support deleterious effect		Computational evidence does not support a deleterious effect; Splice-region variant — splicing algorithms predict no impact on splicing; supports B3
