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]

This sequence change falls in intron 14 of the RET gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the RET protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs143862573, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with intestinal aganglionosis (PMID: 10090908, 33433679). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 372491). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -

Variant summary: RET c.2607+5G>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: four predict the variant weakens a 5' donor site. At least one publication reported experimental evidence confirming that this variant affects mRNA splicing (Jiang_2021), however the protein level effect (i.e. residual function) of the variant cannot be predicted based on these data. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 248788 control chromosomes (i.e. 1 carrier in the gnomAD v2.1 exomes dataset). The variant, c.2607+5G>A has been reported in the literature in an Italian individual affected with sporadic Hirschsprung Disease (HD) (Auricchio_1999). The variant was also reported in a child (Chinese) affected with total intestinal aganglionosis, who inherited the variant from the unaffected father (Jiang_2021). The authors proposed the presence of a risk haplotype contributing to the disease by "enhancing" the penetrance of this RET variant in the affected proband. These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and all of them classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as a VUS-possibly pathogenic risk factor for Hirschsprung Disease. -

The c.2607+5G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution 5 nucleotides after coding exon 14 in the RET gene. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration was reported in an individual diagnosed with sporadic Hirschsprung disease (Auricchio A et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 1999 Apr;64:1216-21). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will not have any significant effect on splicing. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
