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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingKCCC/NGS Laboratory, Kuwait Cancer Control CenterJul 07, 2023This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the APC gene (p.Gln1062*). This variant has been observed in several individuals affected with familial adenomatous polyposis (PMID: 1316610, 8162022, 15771908). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 88913) with 21 submissions all of which describe this variant as pathogenic. A different truncation (p.Tyr2645Lysfs*14) that lies downstream of this variant has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9824584, 1316610, 27081525, 8381579, 22135120).

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 30, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1062*) in the APC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 1782 amino acid(s) of the APC protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs587779352, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial adenomatous polyposis (PMID: 1316610, 8162022, 15771908). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 88913). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -

The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250490 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3183_3187delACAAA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis and colorectal cancer (Inra_2015, Miyoshi_1992, Papp_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. 11 ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthJan 15, 2020This variant deletes 5 nucleotides in exon 16 of the APC gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been identified in 1/250490 chromosomes 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 31, 2022The c.3183_3187delACAAA pathogenic mutation (also known as p.Q1062*), located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from a deletion of 5 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 3183 to 3187. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 15. This mutation has been identified in numerous individuals and families from a variety of ethnic backgrounds with classic familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), including some individuals with extra colonic manifestations including desmoid tumors, gastrointestinal cancers, papillary thyroid cancer, congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE), and epidermal cysts (Miyoshi Y et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 1992 May;89:4452-6; Won YJ et al. J. Hum. Genet. 1999;44:103-8; González S et al. Cancer Genet. Cytogenet. 2005 Apr;158:70-4; Kim DW et al. Hum.

Pediatr. Hematol. Oncol. 2016 07;38(5):e154-7). Of note, this alteration is also described as a truncation at codon 1061 or codon 1060, and as c.3221_3225delACAAA in the literature. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Carcinoma of colon Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The p.Gln1062X variant has been described as a common hotspot mutation in the literature, with a founder effect in at least one population (from the Spanish Balearic Islands) (Fostira 2010, Gonzales 2005). In six studies it was identified in 36 of 4386 chromosomes (frequency: 0.008) from individuals or families with familial adenomatous polyposis or colorectal cancer (Aceto 2005, Fostira 2010, Gonzales 2005, Kerr 2012, Plawski 2008, Wallis 1999), and was absent in control chromosomes from these studies. The variant was also identified in several database searches, including: GeneInsight COGR (classified as pathogenic by a clinical laboratory), HGMD, UMD (208X as a “causal” variant), COSMIC, Clinvitae, InSiGHT Colon Cancer Database (191X), Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, and the ClinVar Database (classified as pathogenic by Emory Genetics Laboratory, Pathway Genomics, and Ambry Genetics). The p.Gln1062X variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 1062, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the APC gene are an established mechanism of disease in familial adenomatous polyposis and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. Notably, this variant occurs in the last exon of the gene and stop codon or nonsense mutations in this region may not be subjected to nonsense mediated RNA decay, although further study would be required to validate this hypothesis and it is currently not possible to determine whether or not this might influence the severity of the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
