Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM2 PP3_Moderate

The NM_004360.5(CDH1):​c.1137G>C​(p.Thr379Thr) variant causes a splice region, synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T379T) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

CDH1 (HGNC:1748): (cadherin 1) This gene encodes a classical cadherin of the cadherin superfamily. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature glycoprotein. This calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion protein is comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. Mutations in this gene are correlated with gastric, breast, colorectal, thyroid and ovarian cancer. Loss of function of this gene is thought to contribute to cancer progression by increasing proliferation, invasion, and/or metastasis. The ectodomain of this protein mediates bacterial adhesion to mammalian cells and the cytoplasmic domain is required for internalization. This gene is present in a gene cluster with other members of the cadherin family on chromosome 16. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is classified as VUS-3A. Evidence in support of pathogenic classification: Non-canonical splice site variant without proven consequence on splicing (no functional evidence available); Variant is absent from gnomAD (v2, v3 and v4); Other splice site variants at this nucleotide position comparable to the one identified in this case have moderate previous evidence for pathogenicity. c.1137G>A has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen CDH1 Variant Curation Expert Panel and c.1137G>T has been classified as likely pathogenic by the same panel; Abnormal splicing is predicted by in silico tool and affected nucleotide is highly conserved; This variant has been shown to be de novo in the proband (parental status confirmed) (by trio analysis). Additional information: This variant is heterozygous; This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease; This variant has no previous evidence of pathogenicity; No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant; No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant; Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with CDH1-related conditions, including blepharocheilodontic syndrome 1 (MIM#119580) and diffuse gastric and lobular breast cancer syndrome with or without cleft lip and/or palate (MIM#137215).

This sequence change affects codon 379 of the CDH1 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CDH1 protein. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 8, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CDH1-related conditions. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant disrupts the c.1137G nucleotide in the CDH1 gene. Other variant(s) that disrupt this nucleotide have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15831593, 17221870, 17545690, 19725995, 21681551, 23709761, 26025002, 27682646; Invitae). This suggests that this nucleotide is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this position are likely to be disease-causing. 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.
