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 sequence change affects codon 649 of the RET mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the RET protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Hirschsprung disease (PMID: 10618407, 21712996). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 24929). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The c.1947G>A variant (also known as p.S649S), located in coding exon 11 of the RET gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1947. This nucleotide substitution does not change the amino acid at codon 649. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. This alteration has been reported in multiple families diagnosed with Hirschsprung disease (Salomon R et al. Nat Genet, 1996 Nov;14:345-7; Auricchio A et al. Am J Hum Genet, 1999 Apr;64:1216-21; Bolk S et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2000 Jan;97:268-73). Bolk et al. performed RT-PCR analysis on RNA from a lymphoblastoid line demonstrating that the alteration creates a novel splice acceptor site within RET and partial novel splice site usage results in the deletion of first 23 amino acids of exon 11. Authors concluded that based on partial usage of the novel splice acceptor site, the S649S mutation is a hypomorphic allele (Bolk S et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2000 Jan;97:268-73). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is likely pathogenic for Hirschsprung disease; however, the association of this alteration with MEN2 is unknown. -
