Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -10 ACMG points: 0P and 10B. BA1BS3_SupportingBP1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.4420G>A variant in APC is a missense variant predicted to cause the substitution of Alanine by Threonine at amino acid position 1474 (p.Ala1474Thr). The highest population minor allele frequency of this variant in gnomAD v2.1.1 (non-cancer) is 1.13% in the African/African American population, which is higher than the ClinGen InSiGHT Hereditary Colorectal Cancer/Polyposis Expert Panel’s (HCCP VCEP) threshold (≥ 0.1%) for BA1, and therefore meets this criterion (BA1). Functional study of β-catenin-regulated transcription assays indicate that this alteration suppresses CRT as effectively as wild type (BS3_Supporting; PMID:18199528). Finally, APC is defined by the HCCP VCEP as a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease (BP1). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Benign for FAP based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the HCCP VCEP: BA1, BP1, BS3_Supporting (VCEP specifications version 1; date of approval: 12/12/2022).

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.

The APC p.Ala1474Thr variant was identified in 1 of 1382 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0007) from individuals or families with colorectal polyps (Azzopardi, 2008). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs139387758 as With Uncertain significance allele), ClinVar (3x as benign, 2x as likely benign, 1x as a variant of uncertain significance), Cosmic (2x), LOVD 3.0 (1x as not classified), and UMD-LSDB (1x). The variant was not identified in MutDB or the Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database. The variant was identified in control databases in 290 of 276830 chromosomes (2 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.001, increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include African in 270 of 24026 chromosomes (freq: 0.01), Other in 2 of 6456 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), Latino in 13 of 34404 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004), European Non-Finnish in 4 of 126384 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), and SouthAsian in 1 of 30774 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), while the variant was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, or Finnish, populations. The p.Ala1474 residue is moderately conserved in mammals, although 5 of 5 computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 5 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although the available information is suggestive of a benign role. This variant is classified as likely benign. -

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
