Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points: 0P and 9B. BS1BS2BP1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.995G>A variant in APC is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Arginine by Glutamine at amino acid 332 (p.Arg332Gln). This variant has been observed in heterozygous state in >100 healthy unrelated adult individuals worth ≥ 10 healthy individual points in total (BS2; Ambry Genetics, Invitae, GeneDX internal data). The allele frequency of the c.995G>A variant in APC is 0.02% for the African sub-population (5/23604 alleles) in the non-cancer dataset from gnomAD (v2.1.1), which is higher than the ClinGen InSiGHT Hereditary Colorectal Cancer/Polyposis Variant Curation Expert Panel (HCCP VCEP) threshold (≥ 0.001%) for BS1, and therefore meets BS1. APC is defined by the HCCP VCEP as a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease (BP1). 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: BS1, BS2 and BP1 (VCEP specifications version 1; date of approval: 12/12/2022).

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:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

The c.995G>A variant in APC is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Arginine by Glutamine at amino acid 332 (p.Arg332Gln). This variant has been observed in heterozygous state in more than 100 healthy unrelated adult individuals worth more than 10 healthy individual points in total (BS2; Ambry Genetics, Invitae, GeneDX internal data). The allele frequency of the c.995G>A variant in APC is 0.02% for the African sub-population (5/23604 alleles) in the non-cancer dataset from gnomAD (v2.1.1), which is higher than the ClinGen InSiGHT Hereditary Colorectal Cancer/Polyposis Variant Curation Expert Panel (HCCP VCEP) threshold (0.001%) for BS1, and therefore meets BS1. APC is defined by the HCCP VCEP as a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease (BP1). 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: BS1, BS2 and BP1 (VCEP specifications version 1; date of approval: 12/12/2022). -

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

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 332 of the APC protein (p.Arg332Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs377665107, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with APC-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187754). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt APC protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This alteration is classified as likely 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. -

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 332 of the APC protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 8/282470 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
