Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_002354.3(EPCAM):c.133C>T(p.Gln45Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,588 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q45Q) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected

EPCAM (HGNC:11529): (epithelial cell adhesion molecule) This gene encodes a carcinoma-associated antigen and is a member of a family that includes at least two type I membrane proteins. This antigen is expressed on most normal epithelial cells and gastrointestinal carcinomas and functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule. The antigen is being used as a target for immunotherapy treatment of human carcinomas. Mutations in this gene result in congenital tufting enteropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-47373519-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47373519-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 239120.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln45*) in the EPCAM gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in EPCAM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24142340, 28361844). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with EPCAM-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
