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]

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

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. -

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

This variant causes a duplication of a leucine residue at codon 15 of the CDH1 protein, following 5 consecutive leucine residues. This variant is also known as 46insTGC in the literature. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (PMID: 20373070), as well as in individuals and families whose phenotype is not consistent with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (ClinVar SCV001437632.1; Color internal data). This variant has been identified in 1/124448 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. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In-frame insertion of 1 amino acid in a repetitive region with no known function; Observed in a hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) family as well as individuals with personal or family history of breast cancer (Guilford et al., 2010; Rodriguez-Balada et al., 2020; Garcia-Pelaez et al., 2023); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 15235021, 22225527, 20373070, 30068367, 31786208, 34855780, 36436516, 36243179, 32980694) -

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in affected families with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (PMID: 20373070 (2010)), as well as in an affected individual with breast cancer (PMID: 31786208 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000008 (1/124448 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

The c.32_34TGC[6] (p.Leu15dup), also referred to as 46insTGC, results in the in-frame insertion of a leucine residue in exon 1. This variant has been observed in more than 10 individuals with DGC, SRC tumours or LBC and whose families do not suggest HDGC (BS2; SCV000566421.3, SCV000261647.7). This variant has also been reported in the literature in an HDGC family, but it is not known whether this family meets current IGCLC criteria (PMID: 20373070). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely benign based on ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the CDH1 Variant Curation Expert Panel (Variant Interpretation Guidelines Version 3.1): BS2. -
