RCV001295237 | SCV001484152 | uncertain significance | Renal cell carcinoma | 2023-08-30 | 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 sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 999263). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MET-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 6 of the MET gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), however the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in MET cause disease. |
Ambry Genetics | RCV002411939 | SCV002722222 | uncertain significance | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2020-06-23 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.1862+1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 5 of the MET gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using two different splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted by BDGP to abolish the native splice donor site, but is not predicted to have a deleterious effect on this splice donor site by ESEfinder; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, loss of function of MET has not been clearly established as a mechanism of disease. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. |
