Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points: 0P and 10B. BP7BA1BP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.1635G>A (p.Ala545=) variant is a synonymous (silent) variant that is not predicted to impact splicing (BP4, BP7). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.82 (15756 in 19198 alleles) in the East Asian population, which is higher than the ClinGen InSiGHT Hereditary Colorectal Cancer/Polyposis Variant Curation Expert Panel (HCCP VCEP) threshold (≥ 0.001) for BA1, and therefore meets this criterion (BA1). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Benign for FAP based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the HCCP VCEP: BA1, BP4, and BP7. (VCEP specifications version 1; date of approval: 12/12/2022). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA005411/MONDO:0021056/089

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.

Significance:Benign
Review Status:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

The c.1635G>A (p.Ala545=) variant is a synonymous (silent) variant that is not predicted to impact splicing (BP4, BP7). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.82 (15756 in 19198 alleles) in the East Asian population, which is higher than the ClinGen InSiGHT Hereditary Colorectal Cancer/Polyposis Variant Curation Expert Panel (HCCP VCEP) threshold (0.001) for BA1, and therefore meets this criterion (BA1). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Benign for FAP based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the HCCP VCEP: BA1, BP4, and BP7. (VCEP specifications version 1; date of approval: 12/12/2022). -

Significance:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -

APC-Associated Polyposis Disorders Benign:1

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1635G>A, p.Ala545Ala silent variant, located in exon 14 of APC, is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not alter an amino acid residue, is 9 bp away from the nearest splice junction, is listed in dbSNP (rs_id: rs351771) with a heterozygosity frequency of 0.479+/-0.099. Based on the above information, this is a likely benign variant. -
