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.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.A952V variant (also known as c.2855C>T), located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2855. The alanine at codon 952 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, in silico predictors for this gene do not accurately predict pathogenicity. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces alanine with valine at codon 952 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 1/250814 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 alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 952 of the APC protein (p.Ala952Val). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) (PMID: 21520333). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 246136). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae 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.

This variant is denoted APC c.2855C>T at the cDNA level, p.Ala952Val (A952V) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Alanine to a Valine (GCC>GTC). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. APC Ala952Val was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Since Alanine and Valine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. APC Ala952Val is not located in a known functional domain. In-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support that this variant does not alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether APC Ala952Val is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance.
