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.

Familial adenomatous polyposis 1 Pathogenic:2

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1062Valfs*63) in the APC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 1782 amino acid(s) of the APC protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial adenomatous polyposis (PMID: 8730280, 20223039, 20685668). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 428100). This variant is expected to disrupt the EB1 and HDLG binding sites, which mediate interactions with the cytoskeleton (PMID: 15311282, 17293347). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect on APC protein function, this suggests that disruption of the C-terminal portion of the protein is functionally important. A different truncation (p.Tyr2645Lysfs*14) that lies downstream of this variant has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9824584, 1316610, 27081525, 8381579, 22135120, Invitae). This suggests that deletion of this region of the APC protein is causative of disease. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: APC c.3184_3187delCAAA (p.Gln1062ValfsX63) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 250490 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3184_3187delCAAA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (e.g. Miyaki_1994, vanderLuijt_1997, Plawski_2008). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.3184_3187delCAAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 3184 to 3187, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.Q1062Vfs*63). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theAPC gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts 62.3% of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and a significant portion of the protein is affected and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with APC-related familial adenomatous polyposis (Mandl M et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 1994 Jan;3:181-4; Dobbie Z et al. J. Med. Genet., 1996 Apr;33:274-80; Friedl W et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract, 2005 Sep;3:95-114; Plawski A et al. J. Appl. Genet., 2008;49:407-14). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
