Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -14 ACMG points: 0P and 14B. BS2BA1BP1BP2

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.1240C>T variant in APC is a missense variant predicted to cause the substitution of arginine by cysteine at amino acid 414 (p.Arg414Cys). This variant has been observed in heterozygous state in ≥ 1000 healthy unrelated adult individuals worth ≥ 10 healthy individual points in total (BS2; Invitae, Ambry, and GeneDX internal data). It has been observed in trans with a variant classified as Pathogenic by the ClinGen InSiGHT Hereditary Colorectal Cancer/Polyposis Variant Curation Expert Panel (HCCP VCEP) in an individual with FAP (BP2). The highest allele frequency of this variant is 0.001835 in European (Finnish) population, which is higher than the HCCP VCEP threshold (≥ 0.001) for BA1. Finally, APC is defined by the HCCP VCEP as a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease (BP1). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Benign for FAP based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the HCCP VCEP: BA1, BS2, BP1 and BP2 (VCEP specifications version 1; date of approval: 12/12/2022).

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.

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 05, 2017Variant summary: The APC c.1240C>T (p.Arg414Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 5/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. However, a functional study found that this variant maintained inhibitory activity on the transcription mediated by the beta-catenin/TCF4 complex, as did wild-type APC. The variant of interest has been found in a large, broad control population, ExAC in 105/120892 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0008685, which is approximately 12 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic APC variant (0.0000714), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. This variant was found in multiple studies in FAP patients (van der Klift_PMS2_Hum Mutat_2016, Azzopardi_CancerRsrch_2008) but one functional study and the high frequency in population suggests a benign effect. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases recently classified this variant as likely benign/benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -
Familial adenomatous polyposis 1 Uncertain:2Benign:5
Benign, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen InSiGHT Hereditary Colorectal Cancer/Polyposis Variant Curation Expert PanelFeb 18, 2023The c.1240C>T variant in APC is a missense variant predicted to cause the substitution of arginine by cysteine at amino acid 414 (p.Arg414Cys). This variant has been observed in heterozygous state in more than 1000 healthy unrelated adult individuals worth more than 10 healthy individual points in total (BS2; Invitae, Ambry, and GeneDX internal data). It has been observed in trans with a variant classified as Pathogenic by the ClinGen InSiGHT Hereditary Colorectal Cancer/Polyposis Variant Curation Expert Panel (HCCP VCEP) in an individual with FAP (BP2). The highest allele frequency of this variant is 0.001835 in European (Finnish) population, which is higher than the HCCP VCEP threshold (0.001) for BA1. Finally, APC is defined by the HCCP VCEP as a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease (BP1). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Benign for FAP based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the HCCP VCEP: BA1, BS2, BP1 and BP2 (VCEP specifications version 1; date of approval: 12/12/2022). -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSt. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research HospitalAug 05, 2021The APC c.1240C>T (p.Arg414Cys) missense change has a maximum non-founder subpopulation frequency of 0.097% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/5-112154969-C-T). This is higher than the reported incidence of APC-related familial adenomatous polyposis (BS1). It was also found to be homozygous in one individual (BS2_supporting). Six of seven in silico tools predict a deleterious effect of this variant on protein function (PP3), but a functional assay indicated that this variant maintained inhibitor activity on the transcription mediated by the beta-catenin/TCF4 complex, similar to the wild-type (BS3_supporting). This variant has been reported in individuals with confirmed or suspected FAP and attenuated FAP (PMID: 18199528, 20223039, 24790607, 25142776, 27435373, 31285513). In one case, the patient's adenoma demonstrated that the tumor lost the allele carrying the p.R414C variant and retained only the normal allele, suggesting a benign effect (PMID: 24790607). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: BS1, BS2_supporting, BS3_supporting, PP3. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInstitute for Biomarker Research, Medical Diagnostic Laboratories, L.L.C.Oct 15, 2024The missense variant NM_000038.6(APC):c.1240C>T (p.Arg414Cys) has been reported to ClinVar as Benign with a status of (3 stars) reviewed by expert panel (Variation ID 797 as of 2024-10-03). The variant is observed in one or more well-documented healthy adults. The p.Arg414Cys variant is observed in 40/21,606 (0.1851%) alleles from individuals of gnomAD European Finnish background in gnomAD, which is greater than expected for the disorder. There is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. The p.Arg414Cys missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The arginine residue at codon 414 of APC is conserved in all mammalian species. The nucleotide c.1240 in APC is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Benign. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineAug 10, 2020The p.Arg414Cys variant in APC has been reported in 1 individual with FAP (Azzopardi 2008 PMID: 18199528). It has also been identified in 0.18% (46/25082) of Finnish chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 797) where labs such as Invitae have classified this variant as benign. In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that this does not impact protein function (Yamada 2003 PMID: 14633595); however, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. In summary, while the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain, its frequency suggests that it is more likely to be benign. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BS1, PS4_Supporting. -

A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
