Genes affected

KIT (HGNC:6342): (KIT proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase) This gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase. This gene was initially identified as a homolog of the feline sarcoma viral oncogene v-kit and is often referred to as proto-oncogene c-Kit. The canonical form of this glycosylated transmembrane protein has an N-terminal extracellular region with five immunoglobulin-like domains, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain at the C-terminus. Upon activation by its cytokine ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), this protein phosphorylates multiple intracellular proteins that play a role in in the proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis of many cell types and thereby plays an important role in hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, melanogenesis, and in mast cell development, migration and function. This protein can be a membrane-bound or soluble protein. Mutations in this gene are associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumors, mast cell disease, acute myelogenous leukemia, and piebaldism. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the KIT gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 54 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 7 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 2.5806 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.1549 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to piebaldism, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, mastocytosis, cutaneous mastocytosis.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.34119838).

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KIT-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces phenylalanine with leucine at codon 442 of the KIT protein (p.Phe442Leu). The phenylalanine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between phenylalanine and leucine. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. -
