Genes affected

CDH1 (HGNC:1748): (cadherin 1) This gene encodes a classical cadherin of the cadherin superfamily. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature glycoprotein. This calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion protein is comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. Mutations in this gene are correlated with gastric, breast, colorectal, thyroid and ovarian cancer. Loss of function of this gene is thought to contribute to cancer progression by increasing proliferation, invasion, and/or metastasis. The ectodomain of this protein mediates bacterial adhesion to mammalian cells and the cytoplasmic domain is required for internalization. This gene is present in a gene cluster with other members of the cadherin family on chromosome 16. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

This sequence change falls in intron 15 of the CDH1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CDH1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with diffuse gastric cancer, breast cancer, and/or endometrial cancer (PMID: 26072394, 29798843). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142905). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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.

Collection Method: curation

The NM_004360.5(CDH1): c.2439+5_2439+8del is absent in the gnomAD cohort (PM2_Supporting; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant is predicted to affect splicing by SpliceAI and NNSPLICE (PP3). Additionally, there is an RNA assay demonstrating an abnormal out-of-frame transcript for this variant (PS3, internal laboratory contributors). This variant has also been reported in at least 2 families meeting HDGC clinical criteria (PS4_Moderate; Internal laboratory contributors). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the CDH1 Variant Curation Expert Panel (Variant Interpretation Guidelines Version 3.1): PM2_Supporting, PP3, PS3, PS4_Moderate.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.2439+5_2439+8delGTAA intronic variant is located after coding exon 15 of the CDH1 gene. This variant results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at positions c.2439+5 to c.2439+8. This alteration was identified in a proband with diffuse gastric cancer and lobular breast cancer (van der Post RS et al. Gastroenterology. 2015 Oct;149(4):897-906.e19). This region is highly conserved through primates but not in all available vertebrate species. Internal RNA studies confirm that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.
