Is KIT p.Pro896Ala (c.2686C>G) pathogenic?

KIT p.Pro896Ala (c.2686C>G) is classified Uncertain significance in KIT (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-10-15). AlphaMissense: ambiguous (0.3699); Very rare (popmax 0.0028%, nfe); Associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumor.

What condition is associated with KIT p.Pro896Ala (c.2686C>G)?

KIT p.Pro896Ala (c.2686C>G) is associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumor, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is KIT p.Pro896Ala (c.2686C>G) in the general population?

KIT p.Pro896Ala (c.2686C>G) is very rare (popmax 0.0028%, nfe) (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.Pro896Ala (c.2686C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts ambiguous (score 0.3699) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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

Population frequency

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
