Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 5P and 2B. PM1 PM2 PP2 BP4_Moderate

The NM_000222.3(KIT):c.899A>G(p.Asn300Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,592 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. N300D) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

KIT (HGNC:6342): (KIT proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase) This gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase. This gene was initially identified as a homolog of the feline sarcoma viral oncogene v-kit and is often referred to as proto-oncogene c-Kit. The canonical form of this glycosylated transmembrane protein has an N-terminal extracellular region with five immunoglobulin-like domains, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain at the C-terminus. Upon activation by its cytokine ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), this protein phosphorylates multiple intracellular proteins that play a role in in the proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis of many cell types and thereby plays an important role in hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, melanogenesis, and in mast cell development, migration and function. This protein can be a membrane-bound or soluble protein. Mutations in this gene are associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumors, mast cell disease, acute myelogenous leukemia, and piebaldism. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a glycosylation_site N-linked (GlcNAc...) asparagine (size 0) in uniprot entity KIT_HUMAN
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, KIT
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.13538995).

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 300 of the KIT protein (p.Asn300Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KIT-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237286). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -

The c.899A>G (p.N300S) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the KIT gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 899, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 300 to be replaced by a serine (S). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
