Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM5 PP3_Moderate

The NM_002354.3(EPCAM):c.360C>A(p.Asn120Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000684 in 1,461,874 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. N120I) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected

EPCAM (HGNC:11529): (epithelial cell adhesion molecule) This gene encodes a carcinoma-associated antigen and is a member of a family that includes at least two type I membrane proteins. This antigen is expressed on most normal epithelial cells and gastrointestinal carcinomas and functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule. The antigen is being used as a target for immunotherapy treatment of human carcinomas. Mutations in this gene result in congenital tufting enteropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr2-47373982-A-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.935

The p.N120K variant (also known as c.360C>A), located in coding exon 3 of the EPCAM gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 360. The asparagine at codon 120 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
