The variant received -4 classification points (ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025). B1_Strong

The NR_136215.1(VCAN-AS1):n.285-5553T>C variant causes a intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. Note: NR_136215.1 is not a MANE Select or MANE Plus Clinical transcript for VCAN-AS1; the reported annotation may differ from that of the MANE-designated reference transcript for this gene. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.485 (AC=782,988) in the gnomAD database across 1,613,372 control chromosomes, including 190,803 homozygotes. The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.516. In-silico predictor (BayesDel (noAF)) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign/Likely Benign (★★). The variant has been observed in cBioPortal in 2 samples across 2 studies and 2 cancer types; somatic enrichment level: SUPPORTING_LOW (Observed in a small number of cBioPortal cases.).

Genes affected

VCAN (HGNC:2464): (versican) This gene is a member of the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family. The protein encoded is a large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan and is a major component of the extracellular matrix. This protein is involved in cell adhesion, proliferation, proliferation, migration and angiogenesis and plays a central role in tissue morphogenesis and maintenance. Mutations in this gene are the cause of Wagner syndrome type 1. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]
