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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_020975.6. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.
• PP5: Variant 10-43114598-G-TTCT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr10-43114598-G-TTCT is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1897685.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This variant is considered likely pathogenic. Functional studies indicate this variant impacts protein function [PMID: 16954442]. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with clinical features of gene-specific disease [PMID: 16954442, 15844786, 17639053, 27673361, 29408964, 20103606]. -

This variant, c.1998delinsTTCT , is a complex sequence change that results in the deletion of 1 and insertion of 2 amino acid(s) in the RET protein (p.Lys666delinsAsnSer). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects RET function (PMID: 16954442). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. This variant is also known as c.2646delGinsTTCT or Lys666Asn, ins Ser. This variant has been observed in individuals with familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (PMID: 1694442, 15844786, 16954442; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -
