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.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.N1455S variant (also known as c.4364A>G), located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 4364. The asparagine at codon 1455 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, in silico predictors for this gene do not accurately predict pathogenicity. Missense alterations in APC are not a common cause of disease (Spier I et al. Genet Med. 2024 Feb;26(2):100992). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces asparagine with serine at codon 1455 of the APC protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with APC-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 3/251232 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1455 of the APC protein (p.Asn1455Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs751262428, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome-associated cancers (PMID: 25980754). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 482263). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt APC protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). 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.
