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: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1541*) in the APC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 1303 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: 11247896, 14961559, 20685668). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184934). 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q1541* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.4621C>T) located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4621. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 15. This alteration has been reported in multiple unrelated individuals with FAP or suspected FAP (De Rosa M et al. Hum. Mutat. 2003 Jun;21(6):655-6; Friedl W et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract 2005;3(3):95-114; Lagarde A et al. J. Med. Genet. 2010 Oct;47(10):721-2). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
