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.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 9 of the APC gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in APC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17963004, 20685668). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with familial adenomatous polyposis (PMID: 15459959, 20685668; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371831). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with altered splicing resulting in unknown protein product impact (PMID: 15459959; Invitae). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely 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.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: APC c.933+2T>C is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing and loss of APC function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with altered splicing resulting in unknown protein product impact (PMID: 15459959, Internal Data). The variant was absent in 251050 control chromosomes. c.933+2T>C has been observed in multiple individuals affected with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (Aretz_2004, Inra_2015, Cruz-Correa_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 15459959, 23460355, 25590978). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371831). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes a T to C nucleotide substitution at the +2 position of intron 9 of the APC gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. An RNA study demonstrated that the variant did not cause aberrant fragment formation as measured by RT-PCR (PMID: 15459959). However, abnormal RNA splicing has been observed in a set of samples tested (Ambry Genetics; ClinVar SCV000579785.6). This variant has been reported in multiple individuals affected with or suspected of familial adenomatous polyposis (PMID: 15459959, 20223039, 20685668). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant creates an alternative donor site beginning with a GC dinucleotide. Some GC variant donor sites have been shown to generate variable levels of wild-type transcript (PMID: 31131953). Hence, this variant could be less penetrant than a conventional splice donor site loss variant. Different variants affecting the same splice donor site, c.933+1G>A, c.933+2T>A, and c.933+2T>G, are described as disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 233970, 1482958, 823172). Loss of APC function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.933+2T>C intronic variant results from a T to C substitution two nucleotides after coding exon 8 in the APC gene. This alteration has been reported in many families with classic familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and segregates with disease in multiple families (Ambry internal data; Aretz et al. Human Mutat. 2004 Nov;24(5):370-80; Lagarde A et al. J. Med. Genet. 2010 Oct;47:721-2; Kerr SE et al. J. Mol. Diagn. 2013 Jan;15(1):31-43). 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. No aberrant splicing was observed by one reported mRNA transcript analysis (Aretz et al. Human Mutat. 2004 Nov;24(5):370-80). However, internal RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
