RCV000231461 | SCV000290561 | uncertain significance | Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2 | 2016-02-05 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Experimental studies have not been published for this variant, and the functional effect of this truncation is unknown. This sequence change deletes 1 nucleotide from exon 20 of the RET mRNA (c.3203delA), causing a frameshift at codon 1068. This creates a premature translational stop signal in the last exon of the RET mRNA (p.Asn1068Thrfs*41). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to result in a truncated RET protein. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a RET-related disease. In summary, this is a novel truncation in the last exon of RET, with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
