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.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

The APC p.Ala1755Ala variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not alter an amino acid residue, is not located near a splice junction, and is listed in dbSNP (rs34506289) with a minor allele frequency (MAF) score of 0.004, having been observed in 9/2250 chromosomes (1000 Genomes). It was reported in 3/132 proband chromosomes of individuals with multiple colorectal adenomas and carcinomas, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and sporadic polyposis, and also observed in 2/100 control chromosomes evaluated (Al-Tassan 2002, Hadjisavvas 2006, Kanter-Smoler 2006). In the latter study, the variant was found in the proband and his healthy sister along with the FAP-modifying polymorphism p.E1317Q, while his disease-affected brother did not harbour either variants (Kanter-Smoler 2006). These observations increase the likelihood that the variant is of little or no clinical significance. The variant was also reported in the Exome Variant Server and LOVD databases. This variant is classified as benign. -

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. -

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
