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.

The APC c.8276G>A (p.Arg2759His) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual affected with a Lynch syndrome associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754 (2015)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000016 (4/251016 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

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

The p.R2759H variant (also known as c.8276G>A), located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 8276. The arginine at codon 2759 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was identified in a cohort of 1260 individuals undergoing panel testing for Lynch syndrome due to having a diagnosis of a Lynch-associated cancer and/or polyps. (Yurgelun MB et al. Gastroenterology, 2015 Sep;149:604-13.e20). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, in silico predictors for this gene do not accurately predict pathogenicity. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

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

This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 2759 of the APC protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with a Lynch syndrome-associated disease and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754). This variant has been identified in 4/251016 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. -

Variant summary: APC c.8276G>A (p.Arg2759His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the EB-1 binding domain (IPR009232) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251016 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.8276G>A has been reported in the literature in in an individual who had genetic testing for Lynch syndrome, and the authors classified the variant as VUS (Yurgelun_2015). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25980754). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141690). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The APC c.8276G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg2759His. This variant has been reported in an individual undergoing genetic testing for a Lynch syndrome indication (Table S2, Yurgelun et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25980754). This variant is reported in 0.0033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. It is interpreted as uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/141690/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
