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.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1193Valfs*14) in the APC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 1651 amino acid(s) of the APC protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) (PMID: 1843350, 7746201, 8730280, 9067764, 20223039, 20685668). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 411475). This variant is expected to disrupt the EB1 and HDLG binding sites, which mediate interactions with the cytoskeleton (PMID: 15311282, 17293347). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect on APC protein function, this suggests that disruption of the C-terminal portion of the protein is functionally important. A different truncation (p.Tyr2645Lysfs*14) that lies downstream of this variant has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9824584, 1316610, 27081525, 8381579, 22135120, internal data). This suggests that deletion of this region of the APC protein is causative of disease. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The APC c.3577_3578delCA variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Gln1193Valfs*14). This variant was reported in individuals with adenomatous polyposis coli (for example, Lagarde et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20685668; reported as somatic mosaicism in Kim B et al 2019. PubMed ID: 31269945; Dobbie Z et al 1996. PubMed ID: 8730280; Kerr SE et al 2012. PubMed ID: 23159591). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is also classified as pathogenic in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/411475/). Based on above information, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.3577_3578delCA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides between nucleotide positions 3577 and 3578, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.Q1193Vfs*14). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theAPC gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 1651 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). This alteration has been detected in individuals with personal and family histories of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) (Kerr SE et al. J Mol Diagn 2013;15(1):31-43; Friedl W et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract 2005;3(3):95-114; Dobbie Z et al. J. Med. Genet. 1996;33(4):274-80; Scarano MI et al. Hum. Mutat. 1997;9(2):191-3; Gerdehsang PS et al. Intl. Journal Hum. Genet. 2017;14(4):145-150). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
