Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4_ModerateBS2

The NM_004304.5(ALK):c.2110G>A(p.Ala704Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000112 in 1,614,018 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A704S) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

ALK (HGNC:427): (ALK receptor tyrosine kinase) This gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase, which belongs to the insulin receptor superfamily. This protein comprises an extracellular domain, an hydrophobic stretch corresponding to a single pass transmembrane region, and an intracellular kinase domain. It plays an important role in the development of the brain and exerts its effects on specific neurons in the nervous system. This gene has been found to be rearranged, mutated, or amplified in a series of tumours including anaplastic large cell lymphomas, neuroblastoma, and non-small cell lung cancer. The chromosomal rearrangements are the most common genetic alterations in this gene, which result in creation of multiple fusion genes in tumourigenesis, including ALK (chromosome 2)/EML4 (chromosome 2), ALK/RANBP2 (chromosome 2), ALK/ATIC (chromosome 2), ALK/TFG (chromosome 3), ALK/NPM1 (chromosome 5), ALK/SQSTM1 (chromosome 5), ALK/KIF5B (chromosome 10), ALK/CLTC (chromosome 17), ALK/TPM4 (chromosome 19), and ALK/MSN (chromosome X).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Baylor Genetics	Jun 16, 2023	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 11, 2024	This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 704 of the ALK protein (p.Ala704Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs34829159, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ALK-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 575004). 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. -

The ALK c.2110G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala704Thr. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0062% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-29474065-C-T) and is listed in ClinVar as uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/575004/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
