Genes affected
CDH1 (HGNC:1748): (cadherin 1) This gene encodes a classical cadherin of the cadherin superfamily. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature glycoprotein. This calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion protein is comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. Mutations in this gene are correlated with gastric, breast, colorectal, thyroid and ovarian cancer. Loss of function of this gene is thought to contribute to cancer progression by increasing proliferation, invasion, and/or metastasis. The ectodomain of this protein mediates bacterial adhesion to mammalian cells and the cytoplasmic domain is required for internalization. This gene is present in a gene cluster with other members of the cadherin family on chromosome 16. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.33368754).
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 6 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 501 of the CDH1 protein (p.Val501Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs368690400, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or gastric cancer (PMID: 34326862, 36436516). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142357). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -

The CDH1 c.1501G>A p.Val501Met variant (rs368690400) is reported in the literature in individuals affected with cancer (Bhai 2021, Garcia-Pelaez 2023, Hoang 2020), but also in healthy controls (Mizukami 2020, Momozawa 2018, Okawa 2023). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 142357). This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.003% (7/282876 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.285). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time.

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

This missense variant replaces valine with methionine at codon 501 of the CDH1 protein. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer and gastric cancer (PMID: 33471991, 34326862, 36436516). This variant has been identified in 7/282876 chromosomes 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. -

Variant summary: CDH1 c.1501G>A (p.Val501Met) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Cadherin domain of the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251476 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1501G>A has been observed in individuals affected with cancers including breast cancer and/or gastric cancer (e.g., Bhai_2021). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Breast Cancer. 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: 30287823, 27904775, 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142357). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
