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.

Variant summary: APC c.1606G>A (p.Glu536Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 250728 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00068 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 10 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in APC causing Familial Adenomatous Polyposis phenotype (7.1e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. c.1606G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast cancer, colon cancer, and in an individual with a personal- or family history of Lynch syndrome (Tung_2014, Yurgelun_2015, Pearlman_2016). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments to include two submitters who have re-classified this variant as likely benign since our previous evaluation. (VUS, n=5, likely benign, n=2). Some submitters cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of our evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, and the emerging transition in its classification, this variant was re-classified as likely benign. -

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

This variant is denoted APC c.1606G>A at the cDNA level, p.Glu536Lys (E536K) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamic Acid to a Lysine (GAA>AAA). This variant has been reported in an individual with colon cancer, a patient with a personal history of a Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps, and in two individuals with breast cancer (Tung 2015, Yurgelun 2015, Pearlman 2017). APC Glu536Lys was observed at an allele frequency of 0.08% (20/24,026 alleles) in individuals of African ancestry in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is located within the armadillo region (Azzopardi 2008). In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether APC Glu536Lys is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

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

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following: it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease, and/or has normal protein function, and/or has lack of segregation with disease, and/or has been detected in co-occurrence with known pathogenic variant, and/or has lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or is located in a region inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
