The NM_004385.5(VCAN):c.6721_6723delAGAinsCGC (p.2242) variant causes a synonymous change. The gene VCAN is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 1 TSG, 3 oncogene, 2 driver citations). The gene VCAN is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 1 TSG, 3 oncogene, 2 driver citations). The gene VCAN is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 1 TSG, 3 oncogene, 2 driver citations). Note: allele frequency estimates from gnomAD may be inaccurate for this variant type (MNP or indel longer than 3 bp) due to technology limitations. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.

Genes affected

VCAN (HGNC:2464): (versican) This gene is a member of the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family. The protein encoded is a large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan and is a major component of the extracellular matrix. This protein is involved in cell adhesion, proliferation, proliferation, migration and angiogenesis and plays a central role in tissue morphogenesis and maintenance. Mutations in this gene are the cause of Wagner syndrome type 1. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
	B4Synonymous/intronic, no splicing impact		Synonymous/intronic variant outside canonical splice sites (B4 supporting); Synonymous variant — splicing impact not confirmed absent; B4 supporting [-1]
