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.

DNA sequence analysis of the APC gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.3323A>G, in exon 16 that results in an amino acid change, p.Asn1108Ser. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in individuals with APC-related disorders. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.0085% in the Latino/Admixed American subpopulation (dbSNP rs151286353). The p.Asn1108Ser change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the APC protein that is not known to be functional. The p.Asn1108Ser substitution appears to be benign using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). Due to insufficient evidence and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Asn1108Ser change remains unknown at this time.

Variant summary: APC c.3323A>G (p.Asn1108Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.5e-05 in 281874 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in APC causing Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (3.5e-05 vs 7.1e-05), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.3323A>G has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or colorectal polyps and one individual affected with pancreatic cancer (Yurgelun_2015, Chaffee_2017). These reports 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. Four ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (1x) and likely benign (3x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

This alteration is classified as likely 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.

The APC c.3323A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asn1108Ser. This variant has been reported in an individual undergoing Lynch syndrome clinical genetic testing and in an individual with a personal and family history of pancreatic cancer (Table S2, Yurgelun et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25980754; Table S2, Chaffee et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 28726808). It has also been reported in a control individual from a biliary tract cancer cohort study (Table S2, Okawa et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 36243179). This variant is reported in 0.0085% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/5-112174614-A-G). It has conflicting interpretations of likely benign and uncertain significance (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/220743/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.
