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 in-frame deletion NM_000038.6(APC):c.5501_5506delTCAGAG (p.Val1834_Arg1835del) has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, to our knowledge. This variant results in a deletion of 2 amino acid residues starting at 1834, including ValArg. However, as this is an in-frame deletion, it is not expected to result in either a truncated protein product or loss of protein through nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The p.Val1834_Arg1835del variant is not in a repeat region. The p.Val1834_Arg1835del variant results in a deletion of 6 bases that are predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance -

The c.5501_5506delTCAGAG variant (also known as p.V1834_R1835del), located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene,results from an in-frame deletion of 6 nucleotides at positions 5501 to 5506 and the removal of two well-conserved residues at codons 1834 and 1835. This alteration was detected in two affected siblings, one with 100 colorectal polyps and one with with colon cancer and polyps. In addition, this alteration was also detected in two unaffected relatives from this family, but was not detected in a third affected relative (Out AA et al. Fam. Cancer. 2015 Jun;14:247-57). This amino acid region is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be neutral by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). 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 variant causes an in-frame deletion of two amino acids in exon 16 of the APC protein. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with adenomatous polyps (PMID: 25604157), an individual with colorectal cancer (PMID: 34347074), as well as in a healthy individual (PMID: 24728327). This variant has been identified in 15/282250 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. -

This variant, c.5501_5506del, results in the deletion of 2 amino acid(s) of the APC protein (p.Val1834_Arg1835del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs587778029, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with APC-related conditions (PMID: 25604157, 34347074, 35534704, 37937776; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141574). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with colorectal cancer and/or multiple polyps, with inconclusive segregation with disease in one family (PMIDs: 34347074 (2022), 25604157 (2015)). In addition, this variant has been reported in a healthy individual under the age of 50 (PMID: 24728327 (2014)), and observed to co-occur with a pathogenic variant in the APC gene in an individual in our internal patient population, suggesting it was not the primary cause of disease. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00016 (5/30610 chromosomes in South Asian subpopulation (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Variant summary: APC c.5501_5506delTCAGAG (p.Val1834_Arg1835del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove 2 amino acids from the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.1e-05 in 276620 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00016 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.5501_5506delTCAGAG has been reported in the literature in a family affected with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, where this variant did not segregate with disease (Out_2015). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
