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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 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.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.916
• PP5: Variant 4-54727447-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-54727447-T-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 375914.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The p.V560D variant (also known as c.1679T>A), located in coding exon 11 of the KIT gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 1679. The valine at codon 560 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant has been observed in at least one individual with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with KIT-related gastrointestinal stromal tumor syndrome (Ambry internal data). Protein functional studies have shown this amino acid to be critical (Ma Y et al. J Biol Chem, 1999 May;274:13399-402). This variant has been identified as a common somatic alteration in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (Taniguchi M et al. Cancer Res, 1999 Sep;59:4297-300; Tarn C et al. Clin Cancer Res, 2005 May;11:3668-77; Gomes AL et al. Am J Clin Pathol, 2007 Jan;127:89-96; Steigen SE et al. APMIS, 2007 Apr;115:289-98; Tokunaga M et al. Intern Med, 2018 Jun;57:1719-1723). Close match alterations (p.V560del, p.V560G) have been observed as germline variants that segregate with disease in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (Kang DY et al. Am J Surg Pathol, 2007 Feb;31:224-32; Bamba S et al. Intern Med, 2015 Apr;54:759-64). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
