Genes affected
MET (HGNC:7029): (MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase) This gene encodes a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family of proteins and the product of the proto-oncogene MET. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate alpha and beta subunits that are linked via disulfide bonds to form the mature receptor. Further processing of the beta subunit results in the formation of the M10 peptide, which has been shown to reduce lung fibrosis. Binding of its ligand, hepatocyte growth factor, induces dimerization and activation of the receptor, which plays a role in cellular survival, embryogenesis, and cellular migration and invasion. Mutations in this gene are associated with papillary renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and various head and neck cancers. Amplification and overexpression of this gene are also associated with multiple human cancers. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]

Papillary renal cell carcinoma type 1 Uncertain:1Benign:2
Nov 13, 2023
St. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The MET c.1412G>A (p.Gly471Glu) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.021% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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 and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

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. -

Ambry Genetics
Significance: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. -

Renal cell carcinoma Uncertain:1
Jan 29, 2025
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 471 of the MET protein (p.Gly471Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs373312981, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MET-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 135960). 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. -
