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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 5-112775738-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-112775738-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 232758.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 5 of the APC gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with clinical features of familial adenomatous polyposis (PMID: 12010888, 15459959, 17411426, 20924072, 20977806, 22987206, 31113927). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232758). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 5 (also known as exon 4 in the literature), and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 15459959; internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Myriad Genetics, Inc.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. Functional studies indicate this variant impacts protein function [PMID:12010888]. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted APC c.531+1G>C or IVS5+1G>C and consists of a G>C nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 5 of the APC gene. This variant destroys a canonical splice donor site and is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, leading to either an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay or to an abnormal protein product. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature. Based on the current evidence, we consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.531+1G>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 4 of the APC gene. This alteration has been observed in multiple individuals with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with APC-related disease (Ambry internal data). RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
