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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The RET c.2801+9G>A intronic change results in a G to A substitution at the +9 position of intron 16. Algorithms that predict the impact of sequence changes on splicing indicate that this change may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by RNA studies. This variant has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.0080% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/10-43617473-G-A). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MEN2. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: no criteria met.
