Abstract

Hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma (HPRC) is a rare inherited renal cancer syndrome characterized by bilateral and multifocal papillary type 1 renal tumors (PRCC1). Activating germline pathogenic variants of MET gene were identified in HPRC families. We reviewed the medical and molecular records of a large French series of 158 patients screened for MET oncogenic variants. MET pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants rate was 12.4% with 40.6% among patients with familial PRCC1 and 5% among patients with sporadic PRCC1. The phenotype in cases with MET pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants was characteristic: PRCC1 tumors were mainly bilateral (84.3%) and multifocal (87.5%). Histologically, six out of seven patients with MET pathogenic variant harboured biphasic squamoid alveolar PRCC. Genetic screening identified one novel pathogenic variant MET c.3389T>C, p.(Leu1130Ser) and three novel likely pathogenic variants: MET c.3257A>T, p.(His1086Leu); MET c.3305T>C, p.(Ile1102Thr) and MET c.3373T>G, p.(Cys1125Gly). Functional assay confirmed their oncogenic effect as they induced an abnormal focus formation. The genotype-phenotype correlation between MET pathogenic variants and PRCC1 presentation should encourage to widen the screening, especially toward non-familial PRCC1. This precise phenotype also constitutes a strong argument for the classification of novel missense variants within the tyrosine kinase domain when functional assays aren't accessible.
