Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4_Moderate
The NM_002354.3(EPCAM):c.392C>A(p.Thr131Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000124 in 1,614,056 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T131A) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

not provided    Uncertain:1 
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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188152). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with EPCAM-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs748892317, gnomAD 0.009%). This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 131 of the EPCAM protein (p.Thr131Asn). -
EPCAM-related disorder    Uncertain:1 
The EPCAM c.392C>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr131Asn. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0056% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/188152/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Uncertain:1 
The p.T131N variant (also known as c.392C>A), located in coding exon 3 of the EPCAM gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 392. The threonine at codon 131 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
