Is KIT p.Arg5Gly (c.13C>G) pathogenic?

KIT p.Arg5Gly (c.13C>G) is classified Uncertain significance in KIT (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2026-01-15). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1472); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumor.

What condition is associated with KIT p.Arg5Gly (c.13C>G)?

KIT p.Arg5Gly (c.13C>G) is associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumor, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is KIT p.Arg5Gly (c.13C>G) in the general population?

KIT p.Arg5Gly (c.13C>G) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Gastrointestinal stromal tumor inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Not applicable (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about KIT p.Arg5Gly (c.13C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1472) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.
