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]

Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthOct 27, 2023This missense variant replaces alanine with threonine at codon 639 of the RET protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with medullary thyroid cancer (PMID: 26321248) and an individual affected with medullary and papillary thyroid carcinoma that are under 1-cm nodules (PMID: 34687025). This variant also has been observed in cis with a deleterious RET missense variant p.Cys618Arg in three members affected with medullary thyroid cancer in a family (PMID: 33827484). This variant has been identified in 8/279468 chromosomes 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 18, 2024This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 639 of the RET protein (p.Ala639Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs777122776, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with medullary thyroid carcinoma, however in some of these individuals a pathogenic variant was also identified in the RET gene (PMID: 26321248, 33827484). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 241341). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The threonine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 24, 2023This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
