Genes affected

APC (HGNC:583): (APC regulator of WNT signaling pathway) This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein that acts as an antagonist of the Wnt signaling pathway. It is also involved in other processes including cell migration and adhesion, transcriptional activation, and apoptosis. Defects in this gene cause familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), an autosomal dominant pre-malignant disease that usually progresses to malignancy. Mutations in the APC gene have been found to occur in most colorectal cancers, where disease-associated mutations tend to be clustered in a small region designated the mutation cluster region (MCR) and result in a truncated protein product.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 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 5-112766393-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-112766393-T-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 433597.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Familial adenomatous polyposis 1 Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Aug 03, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 433597). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with APC-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu68*) in the APC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in APC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17963004, 20685668). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Apr 25, 2023	This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -

The APC p p.Leu68X variant was not identified in the literature, nor was it identified in the dbSNP, NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (Exome Variant Server), Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC), HGMD, COSMIC, MutDB, InSiGHT Colon Cancer Gene Variant Database, “Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database”, ClinVar, GeneInsight VariantWire or UMD. The p.Leu68X variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 68, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the APC gene are an established mechanism of disease in FAP and this is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. This alteration would typically be predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function; however, one study has demonstrated that for APC mutations closer to the 5’ terminus, an internal ribosome entry site is utilized to initiate translation at codon 184, resulting in a partially functional N-terminally truncated protein, which results in an attenuated phenotype (Heppner Goss 2002). In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
