Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV003639318 SCV004553993 uncertain significance Gastrointestinal stromal tumor 2023-02-25 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 161 of the KIT protein (p.Arg161Gly). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KIT-related conditions. 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.
Ambry Genetics RCV004374340 SCV005033291 uncertain significance Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2024-02-16 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.R161G variant (also known as c.481A>G), located in coding exon 3 of the KIT gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 481. The arginine at codon 161 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
