Genes affected

EPCAM (HGNC:11529): (epithelial cell adhesion molecule) This gene encodes a carcinoma-associated antigen and is a member of a family that includes at least two type I membrane proteins. This antigen is expressed on most normal epithelial cells and gastrointestinal carcinomas and functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule. The antigen is being used as a target for immunotherapy treatment of human carcinomas. Mutations in this gene result in congenital tufting enteropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

Variant summary: The EPCAM c.426-1G>A variant involves the alteration of a conserved intronic nucleotide. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing, which has been shown to occur via Western blot (see Schnell_HMG_2013 below), although this has not been corroborated by RNA studies. This variant was found in the large control database ExAC at a frequency of 0.0000167 (2/119674 control chromosomes), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic EPCAM variant (0.0000284). The variant has been identified in at least 1 homozygous patient diagnosed with congenital tufting enteropathy (CTE)(SIVAGNANAM_Gastro_2008), but has not been associated with Lynch syndrome phenotypes in the literature. A functional analysis showed that the variant, which was predicted to cause a deletion of ~20 amino acids that verified by Western blot, impairs proper localization of EPCAM to the plasma membrane (Schnell_HMG_2013). However, the role of this dysfunction in Lynch syndrome development was not established. In addition, two submissions to ClinVar have classified this variant with conflicting interpretations including uncertain significance and pathogenic, though both were submitted under the condition of CTE. Although there is evidence that the variant is deleterious in the context of CTE, there is no data regarding whether the variant is involved in Lynch syndrome phenotype manifestations or not. As such, this variant is classified as VUS specifically in the context of an inherited predisposition to cancers including Lynch syndrome. -
