Genes affected

RET (HGNC:9967): (ret proto-oncogene) This gene encodes a transmembrane receptor and member of the tyrosine protein kinase family of proteins. Binding of ligands such as GDNF (glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor) and other related proteins to the encoded receptor stimulates receptor dimerization and activation of downstream signaling pathways that play a role in cell differentiation, growth, migration and survival. The encoded receptor is important in development of the nervous system, and the development of organs and tissues derived from the neural crest. This proto-oncogene can undergo oncogenic activation through both cytogenetic rearrangement and activating point mutations. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hirschsprung disease and central hypoventilation syndrome and have been identified in patients with renal agenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2017]

This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 180 of the RET protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MEN2 or medullary thyroid carcinoma. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with Hirschsprung disease (PMID: 10790203). This variant has been identified in 37/282728 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The RET c.539G>A; p.Arg180Gln variant (rs370736139) is reported in the literature in an individual affected with Hirschsprung disease (Hofstra 2000). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 161360). This variant is found in the Latino population with an allele frequency of 0.08% (27/35,432 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.223). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: RET c.539G>A (p.Arg180Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Cadherins domain profile (IPR002126) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00014 in 251346 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00072 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Latino control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2.92 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in RET causing Hirschsprung Disease phenotype (0.00025). c.539G>A has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Hirschsprung Disease (Hofstra_2000). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hirschsprung Disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 10790203). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 161360). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -
