Genes affected
RET (HGNC:9967): (ret proto-oncogene) This gene encodes a transmembrane receptor and member of the tyrosine protein kinase family of proteins. Binding of ligands such as GDNF (glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor) and other related proteins to the encoded receptor stimulates receptor dimerization and activation of downstream signaling pathways that play a role in cell differentiation, growth, migration and survival. The encoded receptor is important in development of the nervous system, and the development of organs and tissues derived from the neural crest. This proto-oncogene can undergo oncogenic activation through both cytogenetic rearrangement and activating point mutations. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hirschsprung disease and central hypoventilation syndrome and have been identified in patients with renal agenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2017]

Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthSep 05, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 475 of the RET protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been observed in an individual with sporadic Hirschsprung disease (PMID: 20473317) and has also been identified in a healthy subject (PMID: 24728327) This variant has been identified in 3/251358 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 18, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 475 of the RET protein (p.Arg475Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs138624658, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Hirschsprung disease (PMID: 20473317). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 135188). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The glutamine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 11, 2022The p.R475Q variant (also known as c.1424G>A), located in coding exon 7 of the RET gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1424. The arginine at codon 475 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been reported in a patient with sporadic Hirschsprung disease (Atti&eacute; T et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 1995 Aug;4:1381-6). This amino acid position is poorly 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. -
