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 c.933+5C>A variant in APC has not been previously reported in the literature in individuals with familial adenomatous polyposis or other APC-associated diso rders, but has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 231369). This variant has also been identified in 1/111454 of European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregati on Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs573528468). This variant is located in the 5' splice region. Although nucleotide substitutions at the +5 position of the intron are relatively common causes of aberrant splicing , computational tools do not suggest an impact to splicing, though this informat ion is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the c.933+5C>A variant is uncertain. -

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

The APC c.933+5C>A variant has not been reported in individuals with APC-related conditions in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/251038 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant does not affect APC mRNA splicing. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

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

This variant causes a C to A nucleotide substitution at the +5 position of intron 9 of the APC gene. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with APC-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/251038 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. -

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

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
