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 glutamic acid with lysine at codon 805 of the RET protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). This variant is located adjacent to valine at codon 804, where missense mutations p.Val804Met and p.Val804Leu, have been reported to confer moderate risk for MEN2A (PMIDI: 33603219). A functional study has reported that this variant when present in combination (in cis) with p.Val804Met, activates the transforming activity of the variant RET protein in ex vivo cells, as compared to milder activation seen when either missense variant is present alone (PMID: 17047083). This variant has been reported in an individual with p.Val804Met in cis who was diagnosed with MEN2B (PMID: 1704708). This variant has not been identified 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. -
