Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -14 ACMG points: 2P and 16B. PM4BP6_Very_StrongBA1

The NM_004655.4(AXIN2):c.2013_2024delCACCACCCCCCG(p.Thr672_Arg675del) variant causes a disruptive inframe deletion change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00393 in 1,613,670 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 229 homozygotes. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R671R) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

AXIN2 (HGNC:904): (axin 2) The Axin-related protein, Axin2, presumably plays an important role in the regulation of the stability of beta-catenin in the Wnt signaling pathway, like its rodent homologs, mouse conductin/rat axil. In mouse, conductin organizes a multiprotein complex of APC (adenomatous polyposis of the colon), beta-catenin, glycogen synthase kinase 3-beta, and conductin, which leads to the degradation of beta-catenin. Apparently, the deregulation of beta-catenin is an important event in the genesis of a number of malignancies. The AXIN2 gene has been mapped to 17q23-q24, a region that shows frequent loss of heterozygosity in breast cancer, neuroblastoma, and other tumors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with colorectal cancer with defective mismatch repair. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Variant summary: AXIN2 c.2013_2024del12 (p.Thr672_Arg675del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove 4 amino acids from the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0055 in 244704 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.075 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 44 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 528-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in AXIN2 causing Colorectal Cancer phenotype (0.00014), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. A co-occurrence with a pathogenic variant has been reported (PMS2 c.2186_2187delTC, p.Leu729GlnfsX6; Internal testing), providing further supporting evidence for a benign role. Three ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -
