Genes affected
AXIN2 (HGNC:904): (axin 2) The Axin-related protein, Axin2, presumably plays an important role in the regulation of the stability of beta-catenin in the Wnt signaling pathway, like its rodent homologs, mouse conductin/rat axil. In mouse, conductin organizes a multiprotein complex of APC (adenomatous polyposis of the colon), beta-catenin, glycogen synthase kinase 3-beta, and conductin, which leads to the degradation of beta-catenin. Apparently, the deregulation of beta-catenin is an important event in the genesis of a number of malignancies. The AXIN2 gene has been mapped to 17q23-q24, a region that shows frequent loss of heterozygosity in breast cancer, neuroblastoma, and other tumors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with colorectal cancer with defective mismatch repair. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Submissions by phenotype

Oligodontia-cancer predisposition syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 16, 2024This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 408 of the AXIN2 protein (p.Glu408Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs749846538, gnomAD 0.05%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with medulloblastoma (PMID: 17373666). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 408784). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingBaylor GeneticsAug 27, 2020This variant was determined to be of uncertain significance according to ACMG Guidelines, 2015 [PMID:25741868]. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 14, 2022The p.E408K variant (also known as c.1222G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the AXIN2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1222. The glutamic acid at codon 408 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesNov 15, 2023The AXIN2 c.1222G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu408Lys. This variant has been reported in a medulloblastoma specimen (Koch et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17373666). This variant is reported in 0.046% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/17-63533932-C-T/?dataset=gnomad_r2_1). It is interpreted as uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/408784/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
