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: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp849Glufs*11) in the APC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 1995 amino acid(s) of the APC protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with clinical features of familial adenomatosis polyposis (PMID: 12357334, 17963004, 20223039, 20685668, 29406563, 30897307; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 92342). 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. -

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 in the last coding exon. This variant is predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay and be expressed as a truncated protein. Although functional studies have not been reported, this variant is expected to disrupt several important c-terminal domains of the APC protein including the beta-catenin binding domain, SAMP-repeats, basic domain, EB1 binding domain, and HDLG domain (PMID: 11257105). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) (PMID: 20685668, 21643010, 31069152) as well as in individuals affected with colon polyposis or desmoid tumors (PMID: 29406563, 30897307). 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.2547_2550delTAGA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2547 to 2550, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D849Efs*11). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theAPC gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 1995 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data).This mutation has been reported in multiple individuals with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) including some individuals with extra colonic manifestations including desmoid tumors, congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE), and hepatoblastoma (Ripa R et al. Eur J Hum Genet, 2002 Oct;10:631-7; Friedl W et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract, 2005 Sep;3:95-114; De la Fuente MK et al. Dis Colon Rectum, 2007 Dec;50:2142-8; Lagarde A et al. J Med Genet, 2010 Oct;47:721-2; Rohlin A et al. Oncogene, 2011 Dec;30:4977-89; Yanus GA et al. Clin Genet, 2018 05;93:1015-1021; Morcrette G et al. Oncoimmunology Mar;8:e1583547; de Oliveira JC et al. Cancer Med, 2019 05;8:2114-2122). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This variant is denoted APC c.2547_2550delTAGA at the cDNA level and p.Asp849GlufsX11 (D849EfsX11) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in brackets, is AAGA{TAGA}AGTT. The deletion causes a frameshift, which changes an Aspartic Acid to a Glutamic Acid at codon 849 in exon 16, and creates a premature stop codon at position 11 of the new reading frame. This mutation is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. APC 2547_2550delTAGA, previously reported as 2547del4, has been observed in association with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (Ripa 2002, Friedl 2005). We therefore consider this mutation to be pathogenic. and is indicative of a Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)-associated condition, which includes classic FAP and attenuated FAP (AFAP). These autosomal dominant conditions predispose individuals to the development of many polyps, colorectal cancer, and other cancers. AFAP is distinguished from classic FAP primarily by the difference in polyp burden and age at presentation. Individuals with classic FAP may develop hundreds to thousands of adenomatous polyps by age 35 and, on average, are diagnosed with colon cancer by the age of 39. The age-related risk for colon cancer in untreated individuals is 7% by age 21, 87% by age 45, and 93% by age 50 (Jasperson 2010). Individuals with AFAP develop an average of about 30 polyps and are typically diagnosed with colon cancer between ages 50 and 55. Other cancer risks in individuals with FAP and AFAP include 5% risk for duodenal or periampullary cancer, and in FAP less than or equal to a 2% risk for stomach, thyroid, pancreatic, brain (typically medulloblastoma), and liver (hepatoblastoma) cancers, while AFAP has less than or equal to a 2% risk for stomach, thyroid, and pancreatic cancers (Jasperson 2012). Upper gastrointestinal tract polyps and fundic gland polyps are present in most cases of classic FAP and AFAP; other findings include desmoid tumors, osteomas, epidermoid cysts, and fibromas. Approximately 20-25% of individuals with an APC mutation have a de novo, rather than inherited, mutation. The variant is found in APC panel(s). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The APC c.2547_2550delTAGA; p.Asp849fs variant (rs398123118) has been described in several individuals and families affected with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP; Friedl 2005, Miyaki 1994, Ripa 2002). It is reported as pathogenic by several laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 92342) and is absent from general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting 4 nucleotides, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Additionally, the vast majority of pathogenic APC variants are truncating nonsense or frameshift variants (see InSiGHt, Kerr 2013). Based on available information, this variant is considered pathogenic. REFERENCES Link to InSiGHt: https://www.insight-group.org/syndromes/adenomatous-polyposis/. Friedl W et al.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: APC c.2547_2550delTAGA (p.Asp849GlufsX11) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 245936 control chromosomes (in gnomAD). c.2547_2550delTAGA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (Miyaki 1994, Friedl 2005, Rohlin 2011), segregation with the disease was also described (Ripa 2002). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
