Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP6
The NM_020975.6(RET):c.2477A>C(p.Tyr826Ser) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000577 in 1,612,722 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. Y826N) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A    Uncertain:1Benign:1 
This variant is considered likely benign. This variant has been observed at a population frequency that is significantly greater than expected given the associated disease prevalence and penetrance. -

Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2    Uncertain:1 
This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 826 of the RET protein (p.Tyr826Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs34617196, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with medullary thyroid carcinoma and C-cell hyperplasia (PMID: 27099842, 37937776). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 220530). 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 disruptive. 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. -
not provided    Uncertain:1 
In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in trans with the pathogenic RET variant V804M in a patient with medullary thyroid cancer who had both maternal and paternal family histories of thyroid cancer (PMID: 27099842); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24336963, 26206375, 27527004, 14633923, 17344846, 27099842) -
RET-related disorder    Uncertain:1 
The RET c.2477A>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Tyr826Ser. This variant resides in a well-conserved domain where missense variants are known to be pathogenic for RET-associated disorders. This variant has been reported in a family where the proband presented with medullary thyroid carcinoma. In addition, this individual had a second RET variant that is known to be pathogenic. Reduced penetrance and variable expressivity are well-documented in RET-associated disorders and was apparent in this family. The proband’s mother, who was heterozygous for this variant, had a history of microfollicular thyroid adenomas while other heterozygotes did not present with any clinical signs of medullary thyroid disease (Karrasch et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27099842). This variant is reported in 0.0081% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations in ClinVar ranging from likely benign to uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/220530/?new_evidence=true). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Benign:1 
This alteration is classified as likely 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. -
