Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM1BS2
The NM_004304.5(ALK):c.3599C>T(p.Ala1200Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000196 in 1,613,738 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A1200G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1200 of the ALK protein (p.Ala1200Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs200585833, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with retinoblastoma or central nervous system tumor (PMID: 32371905). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239825). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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:1Benign:1 
- -
This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
ALK-related disorder    Uncertain:1 
The ALK c.3599C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala1200Val. This variant has been reported in a tumor sample, but not in the germline, of an individual with neuroblastoma (Bresler SC et al 2014. PubMed ID: 25517749). An in vitro study showed that this variant had similar autophosphorylation properties as wild-type (Bresler SC et al 2014. PubMed ID: 25517749). This variant is reported in 0.019% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as a variant of uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/239825/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
