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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 5-112767312-TGGGTTCATTTCCAA-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-112767312-TGGGTTCATTTCCAA-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 433600.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.

The APC p.Gly116LysfsX18 variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the in dbSNP, Clinvitae database, COSMIC, InSiGHT Colon Cancer Gene Variant Database (LOVD), Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database (LOVD), ClinVar database, GeneInsight - COGR database, UMD, NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project, the Exome Aggregation Consortium database (August 8, 2016) databases. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 2 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The c.346_359del variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 116 and leads to a premature stop codon 18 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the APC gene are an established mechanism of disease in familial adenomatous polyposis and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. This alteration would typically be predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function; however, one study has demonstrated that for APC mutations closer to the 5’ terminus, an internal ribosome entry site is utilized to initiate translation at codon 184, resulting in a partially functional N-terminally truncated protein, which results in an attenuated phenotype (Heppner Goss 2002). In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
