Genes affected
EPCAM (HGNC:11529): (epithelial cell adhesion molecule) This gene encodes a carcinoma-associated antigen and is a member of a family that includes at least two type I membrane proteins. This antigen is expressed on most normal epithelial cells and gastrointestinal carcinomas and functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule. The antigen is being used as a target for immunotherapy treatment of human carcinomas. Mutations in this gene result in congenital tufting enteropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

Lynch syndrome 8 Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSt. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research HospitalJan 06, 2021The EPCAM c.93C>G (p.Asn31Lys) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.22% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-47600618-C-G). This population frequency is higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in EPCAM causing Lynch syndrome (BS1). The EPCAM gene variants involved in Lynch syndrome are typically deletions that signal the end of the gene. Six of seven in silico tools predict a benign effect on the gene or protein function (BP4). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with Lynch syndrome or constitutional mismatch repair deficiency. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: BS1, BP4. -
