Genes affected

KIT (HGNC:6342): (KIT proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase) This gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase. This gene was initially identified as a homolog of the feline sarcoma viral oncogene v-kit and is often referred to as proto-oncogene c-Kit. The canonical form of this glycosylated transmembrane protein has an N-terminal extracellular region with five immunoglobulin-like domains, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain at the C-terminus. Upon activation by its cytokine ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), this protein phosphorylates multiple intracellular proteins that play a role in in the proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis of many cell types and thereby plays an important role in hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, melanogenesis, and in mast cell development, migration and function. This protein can be a membrane-bound or soluble protein. Mutations in this gene are associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumors, mast cell disease, acute myelogenous leukemia, and piebaldism. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -9 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.8).
• BP6: Variant 4-54709419-T-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr4-54709419-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 237234.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Likely_benign=1}.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd at 8 AD gene.

The c.1116-5T>C intronic variant results from a T to C substitution 5 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 7 in the KIT gene. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. Using two different splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted by ESEfinder to weaken the efficiency of the native splice acceptor site, but is not predicted to have a deleterious effect on this splice acceptor site by BDGP; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
