Genes affected

APP (HGNC:620): (amyloid beta precursor protein) This gene encodes a cell surface receptor and transmembrane precursor protein that is cleaved by secretases to form a number of peptides. Some of these peptides are secreted and can bind to the acetyltransferase complex APBB1/TIP60 to promote transcriptional activation, while others form the protein basis of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer disease. In addition, two of the peptides are antimicrobial peptides, having been shown to have bacteriocidal and antifungal activities. Mutations in this gene have been implicated in autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease and cerebroarterial amyloidosis (cerebral amyloid angiopathy). Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -21 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.83).
• BP6: Variant 21-25954663-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr21-25954663-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 339636.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr21-25954663-A-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_benign].
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-2.92 with no splicing effect.
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (AFR) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.076 is higher than 0.05.

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. -
