Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_004343.4(CALR):​c.1099_1150delCTTAAGGAGGAGGAAGAAGACAAGAAACGCAAAGAGGAGGAGGAGGCAGAGG​(p.Leu367ThrfsTer46) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000301 in 1,460,220 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. There is a variant allele frequency bias in the population database for this variant (GnomAdExome4), which may indicate mosaicism or somatic mutations in the reference population data. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★).

Genes affected
CALR (HGNC:1455): (calreticulin) Calreticulin is a highly conserved chaperone protein which resides primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum, and is involved in a variety of cellular processes, among them, cell adhesion. Additionally, it functions in protein folding quality control and calcium homeostasis. Calreticulin is also found in the nucleus, suggesting that it may have a role in transcription regulation. Systemic lupus erythematosus is associated with increased autoantibody titers against calreticulin. Recurrent mutations in calreticulin have been linked to various neoplasms, including the myeloproliferative type.[provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

Essential thrombocythemia Other:2
Jan 24, 2024
Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory, Fox Chase Cancer Center - Temple Health
Significance:-
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

A large majority of myeloproliferative neoplasms with nonmutated JAK2 exhibit somatic CALR mutations. In a subset of such cases with essential thrombocythemia, 67% had CALR mutation. -

Jan 24, 2024
Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory, Fox Chase Cancer Center - Temple Health
Significance:-
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

In a cohort of 1107 myeloproliferative neoplasm patients, those with "mutated CALR had a lower risk of thromobsis and longer overall survival than patients with mutated JAK2." -

Acute myeloid leukemia Other:2
Jan 24, 2024
Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory, Fox Chase Cancer Center - Temple Health
Significance:-
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

While there are strong associations of this variant to thrombocythemia and myeloproliferative neoplasms, its oncogenicity and clinical impact in this case of acute myeloid leukemia is uncertain because the allele frequency decreased over time from 11% (progressive thrombocythemia) to 3% (AML in remission) to undetectable at AML relapse. -
