RCV001226355 | SCV001398667 | uncertain significance | Gastrointestinal stromal tumor | 2020-07-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with glutamic acid at codon 129 of the KIT protein (p.Asp129Glu). The aspartic acid residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and glutamic acid. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KIT-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The glutamic acid amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. 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. |
