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

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 2491 of the APC protein (p.Met2491Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs369075403, gnomAD 0.005%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with APC-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184756). 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%. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The APC c.7472T>C (p.Met2491Thr) variant has been reported in an individual with an unspecified gynecological cancer (PMID: 27150160 (2016)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000023 (3/129046 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: The APC c.7472T>C variant affects a conserved nucleotide, resulting in an amino acid change from Met to Thr. 2/4 in-silico tools predict this variant to be benign (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index); however, it has not been evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. This variant was found in 1/121366 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000082, which does not significantly exceed maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic APC allele (0.0000602). In addition, one clinical laboratory classified this variant as a VUS. The variant of interest has been reported in one colorectal polyposis patient to co-occur with an unspecified APC truncating variant (Jones_Thesis_2008), suggesting that this APC variant may be benign. However, in the absence of functional studies, and detailed clinical and genotype information, the variant was classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) until additional information becomes available. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces methionine with threonine at codon 2491 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 been reported in an individual affected with gynecological cancer (PMID: 27150160) and in an individual with colorectal polyposis (Jones 2008, dissertation, Cardiff University). This variant has been identified in 4/282694 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 alteration is classified as 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. -
