Genes affected

AXIN2 (HGNC:904): (axin 2) The Axin-related protein, Axin2, presumably plays an important role in the regulation of the stability of beta-catenin in the Wnt signaling pathway, like its rodent homologs, mouse conductin/rat axil. In mouse, conductin organizes a multiprotein complex of APC (adenomatous polyposis of the colon), beta-catenin, glycogen synthase kinase 3-beta, and conductin, which leads to the degradation of beta-catenin. Apparently, the deregulation of beta-catenin is an important event in the genesis of a number of malignancies. The AXIN2 gene has been mapped to 17q23-q24, a region that shows frequent loss of heterozygosity in breast cancer, neuroblastoma, and other tumors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with colorectal cancer with defective mismatch repair. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-65536495-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-65536495-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 5881.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr17-65536495-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg656*) in the AXIN2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in AXIN2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15042511, 21416598). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with oligodontia and colorectal adenomatous polyps in a single family and has been also found in an independent individual with hypodontia (PMID: 15042511, 22581971). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5881). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R656* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1966C>T), located in coding exon 7 of the AXIN2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1966. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 7. This alteration was found to segregate with disease within a Finnish family presenting with oligodontia and colorectal cancer (Lammi L et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2004 May;74:1043-50). This alteration was also identified in 1 of 1923 Chinese patients with a personal history of colorectal cancer (Yao J et al. Cancer Biol Med, 2022 Jan;19:707-32). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
