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: Benign

Review Status: reviewed by expert panel

Collection Method: curation

The c.6354TGC[5] or c.6353_6365dup variant in APC is predicted to cause a change in the length of the protein due to an in-frame duplication of one amino acid (p.Ala2122dup). This variant has been observed in >10 heterozygous individuals with no features of FAP, worth > 10 healthy individual points (BS2; Ambry and Invitae internal data). The highest population minor allele frequency in the non-cancer cohort of gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.05437% in the non-Finnish European population, which is higher than the ClinGen InSiGHT Hereditary Colorectal Cancer/Polyposis Variant Curation Expert Panel (HCCP VCEP) threshold (>0.001%) for BS1, and therefore meets this criterion (BS1). 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: BS1 and BS2 (VCEP specifications version 1; date of approval: 12/12/2022). -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Ala2122dup variant was identified in 1 of 342 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.003) from individuals or families with FAP, but was classified as a VUS by the authors (Out 2015). The variant was also identified in the Clinvitae database (1X with “uncertain significance”), COSMIC (1X found in a lung adenocarcinoma), ClinVar database (1X with uncertain significance, classified by Ambry Genetics), and UMD (1X with an “unclassified variant” classification). The variant was not identified in the general population cohort databases; 1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server project or the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database. This variant is an in-frame duplication resulting in the duplication of an Alanine (Ala) residue at codon 2122; the impact of this alteration on APC protein function is not known. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The APC c.6363_6365dupTGC (p.Ala2121dup) variant involves the insertion of three nucleotides in a 5 alanine repeat region, resulting in an in-frame duplication of single Alanine. One in silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 36/121200 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the European (Non-Finnish) subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0004797 (32/66714). This frequency is about 7 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic APC variant (0.0000714), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of European (Non-Finnish) origin. This variant has been reported in affected individuals without strong evidence of causality. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as uncertain significance/likely benign, all without evidence to independently evaluate. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the APC gene demonstrated a three base pair duplication in exon 16, c.6363_6365dup. This in-frame duplication is predicted to result in the duplication of a alaine residue, p.Ala2122dup, located in an alanine-rich region. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.053% in the non-Finnish European subpopulation (dbSNP rs587780602). This duplication has been reported in an individual with colorectal cancer and was considered a variant of uncertain significance (PMID: 27978560). The functional significance of this sequence change is not known at present and its contribution to this individual's disease phenotype cannot definitively be determined. -
