The NM_000038.6(APC):c.4348_4350delCGAinsAGG (p.1451) variant causes a synonymous change. The gene APC is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 215 TSG, 264 oncogene, 89 driver citations). The gene APC is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 215 TSG, 264 oncogene, 89 driver citations). The gene APC is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 215 TSG, 264 oncogene, 89 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. The variant position is a cancer hotspot (cancerhotspots.org) with 58 samples affected at this amino acid position.

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.

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Specifications for APC are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 2 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])
	O7Mutational hotspot or critical domain		Supporting: cancerhotspots.org hit, critical domain, or missense neighbourhood hotspot; Note: exclude MSK/TCGA-derived samples from cancerhotspots count to avoid double-counting with O4; cancerhotspots.org: total samples at AA position = 58, same AA change = 0; Exclude MSK/TCGA-derived samples from count to avoid double-counting with O4; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign; Variant does not impact splicing — splice-hotspot path not applicable
	B4Synonymous/intronic, no splicing impact		Synonymous/intronic variant outside canonical splice sites (B4 supporting); Synonymous variant — splicing impact not confirmed absent; B4 supporting [-1]
