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.

not specified Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 17, 2019Variant summary: APC c.993G>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-05 in 251100 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 1.12 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 benign. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.993G>A in individuals affected with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Malignant tumor of breast Benign:1
Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The APC p.Ser331= variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the UMD-LSDB database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs148343173) as “with likely benign” allele, ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Invitae, Ambry Genetics, Color, GeneDx and Counsyl) and LOVD 3.0 (observed 1x). The variant was identified in control databases in 21 of 282,468 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00007 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: South Asian in 8 of 30,612 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003, increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant), African in 6 of 24,956 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), Latino in 3 of 35,418 chromosomes (freq: 0.00009), and European in 4 of 128,854 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003); it was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish or Other populations. The p.Ser331= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. The variant occurs at a non-highly conserved nucleotide 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 although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
