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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3

Jun 10, 2020

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant deletes 4 nucleotides in exon 16 of the APC gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, this variant has been reported in individuals affected with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP; PMID: 15108286, 16088911, 20223039, 21643010), an FAP somatic mosaicism case (PMID: 17486639), and a Gardner fibroma case in the literature (PMID: 29026543). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of APC function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.4391_4394delAGAG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 4391 to 4394, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E1464Vfs*8). This mutation has been reported in multiple patients with a clinical diagnosis of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or attenuated FAP (AFAP) (Armstrong JG et al. Hum. Mutat., 1997;10:376-80; Gismondi V et al. Hum. Mutat., 1997;9:370-3; Bisgaard ML et al. Hum. Mutat., 2004 May;23:522; Friedl W et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract, 2005 Sep;3:95-114; Kim DW et al. Hum. Mutat., 2005 Sep;26:281; Lagarde A et al. J. Med. Genet., 2010 Oct;47:721-2; Rohlin A et al. Oncogene, 2011 Dec;30:4977-89; Kerr SE et al. J Mol Diagn, 2013 Jan;15:31-43). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change deletes four bases from exon 11 of the APC mRNA (c.4391_4394delAGAG), causing a frameshift after codon 1464 and the creation of a premature translation stop signal 8 amino acid residues later, p.(Glu1464Valfs). This is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This sequence change has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) (PMID: 20685668, 15108286, 16088911, 21643010, 20223039, 23159591). Truncating variants in APC are known to be pathogenic. The mutation database Clinvar contains entries for this variant (Variation ID:812). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) (PMID: 15108286, 16088911, 20223039, 20685668, 21643010, 23159591). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1464Valfs*8) in the APC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 1380 amino acid(s) of the APC protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 812). This variant is expected to disrupt the EB1 and HDLG binding sites, which mediate interactions with the cytoskeleton (PMID: 15311282, 17293347). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect on APC protein function, this suggests that disruption of the C-terminal portion of the protein is functionally important. A different truncation (p.Tyr2645Lysfs*14) that lies downstream of this variant has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9824584, 1316610, 27081525, 8381579, 22135120, Invitae). This suggests that deletion of this region of the APC protein is causative of disease. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Glu1464ValfsX8 deletion has been previously reported in the literature in 1 of 54 chromosomes from individuals with familial adenomatous polyposis (Gismondi 1997). is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 1464 and leads to a premature stop codon 8 amino acids 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 FAP. Notably, this deletion occurs in the last exon of the APC gene and stop codon or nonsense mutations in this region may not be subjected to nonsense mediated RNA decay, although further study would be required to validate the hypothesis and it is currently not possible to determine whether or not this might influence the severity of the disorder. However, this is the type of alteration that is expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
