Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -11 ACMG points: 1P and 12B. PP3BP6_Very_StrongBS1

The NM_002354.3(EPCAM):c.858G>A(p.Leu286=) variant causes a splice region, synonymous change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000407 in 1,609,524 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 4 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L286L) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
EPCAM (HGNC:11529): (epithelial cell adhesion molecule) This gene encodes a carcinoma-associated antigen and is a member of a family that includes at least two type I membrane proteins. This antigen is expressed on most normal epithelial cells and gastrointestinal carcinomas and functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule. The antigen is being used as a target for immunotherapy treatment of human carcinomas. Mutations in this gene result in congenital tufting enteropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]
