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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.58).

BP6

Variant 4-54731868-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr4-54731868-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 409785.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000132 (20/151980) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.000459 (19/41370). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0003. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 10 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.

BS2

High AC in GnomAd4 at 20 AD gene.
