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.

The APC p.Ala2046GlnfsX27 variant was not identified in dbSNP, Clinvitae database, COSMIC, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, ClinVar database, GeneInsight - COGR database, UMD, NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project and the Exome Aggregation Consortium database (August 8, 2016). The variant was identified only in InSiGHT Colon Cancer Gene Variant Database (LOVD) and classified as pathogenic. The c.6135delC variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 2046 and leads to a premature stop codon 27 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. In addition, one genotype-phenotype correlations study (Soravia 1998) identify the variant in the patient with very mild colonic phenotype, <40 polips, no CRC and rectal-polyp sparing. This variant of FAP has been termed “hereditary desmoid disease” and had been classified as “familial infiltrative fibromatosis”. Therefore it’s considered as an attenuated adenomatous polyposis coli (AAPC) variant with predominance of desmoid tumors. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
