Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points: 2P and 12B. PM2 BP4_Strong BP6_Very_Strong

The NM_000222.3(KIT):​c.1232-6C>G variant causes a splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★).

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

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.75).
• BP6: Variant 4-54723578-C-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr4-54723578-C-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 458860.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

KIT c.1232-6C>G is classified as likely benign. In one observed family, this variant was identified in two family members over 70 years old who have no history of gastrointestinal stromal tumors. No other family members have a reported history of gastrointestinal stromal tumors or piebaldism, which are associated with pathogenic germline KIT mutations. This variant occurs in a later intronic region (intron 7) and is not predicted to have a significant impact on splicing (Human Splice Finder 3.0). The combined results are consistent with a classification of likely benign. This variant is not predicted to alter KIT function or modify cancer risk. A modest (less than 2 fold) increase in cancer risk due to this variant cannot be entirely excluded. This analysis was performed in conjunction with the family studies project as part of the University of Washington Find My Variant Study. -
