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.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala2128Valfs*11) in the APC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 716 amino acid(s) of the APC protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with colon cancer (PMID: 26681312). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127311). 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. -

Classic or attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis Pathogenic:1

Dec 18, 2023

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 16 of the APC gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal in the last coding exon. This mutant transcript is predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay and be expressed as a truncated protein. Although functional studies have not been reported, this variant is expected to disrupt EB1 binding site, and HDLG-binding site, and NLS domains. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 26681312) or breast cancer (PMID: 27153395). This variant has not been identified 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. -

Mar 26, 2024

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.6383delC variant, located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 6383, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.A2128Vfs*11). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
