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: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.L1827F variant (also known as c.5479C>T), located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 5479. The leucine at codon 1827 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly 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. Missense alterations in APC are not a common cause of disease (Spier I et al. Genet Med. 2024 Feb;26(2):100992). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces leucine with phenylalanine at codon 1827 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 not been identified 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: APC c.5479C>T (p.Leu1827Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250616 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.5479C>T in individuals affected with Colorectal Cancer Risk and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232816). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1827 of the APC protein (p.Leu1827Phe). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with APC-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232816). 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. -
