Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 2P and 3B. PM5BP4_ModerateBP6
The NM_020975.6(RET):c.1915G>A(p.Ala639Thr) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000267 in 1,608,444 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A639G) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2 Uncertain:2
This 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. -
This 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. -

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 14633923, 34757920, 26321248, 33827484, 34687025, 34135865) -
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A Uncertain:1Benign:1
This variant is considered likely benign. This variant has been observed at a population frequency that is significantly greater than expected given the associated disease prevalence and penetrance. -
- -
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B Uncertain:1
- -
Hirschsprung disease, susceptibility to, 1 Uncertain:1
- -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:1
This 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. -
