RCV002810585 | SCV003210825 | uncertain significance | Gastrointestinal stromal tumor | 2022-05-31 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is present in population databases (rs763362744, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change falls in intron 16 of the KIT gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the KIT protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KIT-related conditions. 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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. |
