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.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in APC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20685668, 17963004). This particular variant has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with familial adenomatous polyposis (PMID: 21779980). This sequence change inserts 2 nucleotides in exon 16 of the APC mRNA (c.5827_5828insAA), causing a frameshift at codon 1943. This creates a premature translational stop signal in the last exon of the APC mRNA (p.Arg1943Lysfs*28). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to delete the last 873 amino acids of the APC protein, which accounts for 31% of the full length protein. A different truncation downstream of this variant (p.Asn1979Thrfs*64) has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 20434453, 9824584, 26681312). This suggests that deletion of this region of the APC protein is causative of disease. -
