The NM_145027.6(KIF6):c.2155T>C (p.Trp719Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.386 (AC=622,475) in the gnomAD database across 1,611,174 control chromosomes, including 129,068 homozygotes. The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.803. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain Significance (★★★). The variant has been observed in cBioPortal in 3 samples across 3 studies and 3 cancer types; somatic enrichment level: SUPPORTING_LOW (Observed in a small number of cBioPortal cases.). This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance; it is also listed as a COSMIC curated somatic variant.

Genes affected
KIF6 (HGNC:21202): (kinesin family member 6) This gene encodes a member of a family of molecular motors which are involved in intracellular transport of protein complexes, membrane organelles, and messenger ribonucleic acid along microtubules. Kinesins function as homodimeric molecules with two N-terminal head domains that move along microtubules and two C-terminal tail domains that interact with the transported cargo, either directly or indirectly, through adapter molecules. This gene is ubiquitously expressed in coronary arteries and other vascular tissue. A naturally occurring mutation in this gene is associated with coronary heart disease.

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -5 points.

B1
GnomAD effective popmax AF >1% — B1 stand-alone benign; GnomAD effective popmax AF = 0.803 — exceeds 1% threshold (B1 applied)
B3
Computational evidence does not support a deleterious effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer does not support an oncogenic/deleterious effect; supports B3
