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.

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 469712). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is also known as IVS11+1G>A. This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 12 of the APC gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in APC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17963004, 20685668). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with familial adenomatous polyposis or colorectal cancer (PMID: 11933206, 20685668, 25604157). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. -

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

PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PM6_Supporting, PP1_Moderate c.1548+1G>A, located in a canonic splicing site of the APC gene is predicted to alter splicing (PVS1).It is not present in the population database gnomAD v2.1.1, non cancer dataset (PM2_Supporting). SpliceAI predicts, with a significant score, that the variant abolishes the splicing donor site in intron 12. It has been reported in ClinVar (4x pathogenic) and LOVD (14x pathogenic) databases. It has been identified as a de novo variant in a APC-associated polyposis patient (internal data) (PM6 Supporting). This variant was reported in multiple individuals with features consistent with APC-associated polyposis conditions and segregates with disease in 11 affected relatives from 1 family (PMID: 11933206, PMID: 22987206, PMID: 20685668)(PP1_Moderate). Based on currently available information, the variant c.1548+1G>A is classified as a pathogenic variant according to ClinGen-APC Guidelines version 1. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

The c.1548+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 11 of the APC gene. This variant was reported in multiple individuals with features consistent with APC-associated polyposis conditions (Kohoutov&aacute; M et al. Hum Mutat, 2002 Apr;19:460-1; Lagarde A et al. J Med Genet, 2010 Oct;47:721-2; Schwarzov&aacute; L et al. Fam Cancer, 2013 Mar;12:35-42; Out AA et al. Fam Cancer, 2015 Jun;14:247-57; Morcrette G et al. Oncoimmunology, 2019 Mar;8:e1583547; Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1548+1G>A variant in APC has been reported in >10 individuals with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), segregated with disease in 11 affected relatives from 1 family (Kohoutova 2002 and InSiGHT Colon Cancer database), and was absent from large population studies. Functional studies of patient tissues provide some evidence that the c.1548+1G>A variant may impact protein function (Schwarzova 2013). This variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1,2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the APC gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals with FAP. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for FAP in an autosomal dominant manner based upon segregation studies, absence from controls, and functional evidence. -
