Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_020975.6(RET):c.1827C>G(p.Cys609Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C609G) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2    Pathogenic:1 
This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 609 of the RET protein (p.Cys609Trp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Hirschsprung disease and/or medullary thyroid cancer (PMID: 7881414, 30763276). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2497944). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RET function (PMID: 9230192, 9502784, 10921886). This variant disrupts the p.Cys609 amino acid residue in RET. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9681851, 16715139, 19472011, 21986619, 24617864). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: low transforming activity, reduced cell-surface expression, and altered apoptosis (Ito et al., 1997; Pelet et al., 1998; Bordeaux et al., 2000); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 9174404, 10921886, 9502784, 14633923, 30763276, 7581377, 11694544, 9230192, 7881414) -
