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.Ala1358Thr variant was identified in 5 of 11044 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0005) from individuals or families with Lynch syndrome, breast cancer, or colorectal cancer and was not identified in 2012 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Raskin 2017,Tung 2015, Yurgelun 2015, Yurgelun 2017). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs139618756) as "With Uncertain significance allele", ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, and five other submitters), Cosmic (2x), and MutDB. The variant was not identified in COGR, LOVD 3.0, UMD-LSDB, or Zhejiang University databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 19 of 276468 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00007 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European in 18 of 126066 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001) and Latino in 1 of 34394 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003); it was not observed in the African, Other, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Ala1358 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The APC c.4072G>A (p.Ala1358Thr) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.016% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL is inconclusive about a pathogenic or benign effect of this variant on protein function, and to our knowledge functional studies have not been performed. This variant has been reported in individuals with a personal and/or family history of colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145, 29212164). In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the APC gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.4072G>A, in exon 16 that results in an amino acid change, p.Ala1358Thr. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.015557% in the non-Finnish European subpopulation (dbSNP rs139618756). The p.Ala1358Thr change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the APC protein that is not known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Ala1358Thr substitution. This sequence change has been previously described in individuals with colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, and in individuals with a clinical suspicious of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 25980754, 28135145, 29684080, 29212164). Due to insufficient evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Ala1358Thr change remains unknown at this time. -

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

Variant summary: APC c.4072G>A (p.Ala1358Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.4e-05 in 250742 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00017 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2.4 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 Non-Finnish European origin. c.4072G>A has been reported in the literature as a VUS in settings of multigene panel testing in individuals affected with various tumor phenotypes, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, suspected Lynch syndrome and in cell lines harboring known and distinct somatic mutations such as EGFR exon 19 deletions (example, Yurgelun_2015, Zhang_2015, Yurgelun_2015, Raskin_2017, Toth_2018, Mancini_2019, Tung_2015). 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. Six 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 (likely benign, n=2; VUS, n=4). At-least one of these submitters reports an unspecified co-occurrence with a mutation in another gene that clearly explains a proband's phenotype as the basis of their classification as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was re-classified as likely benign. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces alanine with threonine at codon 1358 of the APC protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with colorectal cancer or suspected Lynch syndrome (PMID: 25980754, 28135145, 29212164), and kidney cancer (PMID: 29684080). This variant has also been identified in 22/282130 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

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

This variant is denoted APC c.4072G>A at the cDNA level, p.Ala1358Thr (A1358T) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Alanine to a Threonine (GCG>ACG). This variant has been observed in at least three individuals with colon cancer, in two pediatric patients with acute leukemia, and in individuals with breast or kidney cancer (Tung 2015, Zhang 2015, Raskin 2017, Yurgelun 2017, Yehia 2018). APC Ala1358Thr was observed at an allele frequency of 0.01% (18/126,066) in individuals of European ancestry in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is located in the 20-amino acid repeat beta-catenin down-regulating domain (Azzopardi 2008). In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether APC Ala1358Thr is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

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

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with colorectal cancer (PMIDs: 29212164 (2017), 28135145 (2017)), breast cancer (PMID: 25186627 (2015)), lung cancer (PMID: 29723602 (2018)), and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 32255556 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00016 (20/128560 chromosomes in European (Non-Finnish) subpopulation (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The APC c.4072G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala1358Thr. This variant has been reported in multiple cancer types including two pediatric leukemia cases (Table S4a - Zhang et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26580448), one individual with breast cancer (Supporting information 2 - Tung et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25186627), one individual undergoing testing for Lynch syndrome (Table S2 - Yurgelun et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25980754), and three individuals with colorectal cancer (Table A4 - Yurgelun et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28135145; Raskin et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29212164), one of which was confirmed to be microsatellite stable (Raskin et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29212164) and has been interpreted as both uncertain and likely benign in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/141191/). This variant is reported in 0.016% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
