Invitae | RCV001215605 | SCV001387358 | uncertain significance | Gastrointestinal stromal tumor | 2019-07-31 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 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. 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 isoleucine 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. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with KIT-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces methionine with isoleucine at codon 318 of the KIT protein (p.Met318Ile). The methionine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between methionine and isoleucine. |
