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.

Variant summary: The APC c.776G>A (p.Arg259Gln) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 4/4 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was found in 2/120040 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000167, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic APC variant (0.0000714). One clinical diagnostic laboratory/reputable database classified this variant as uncertain significance. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications nor evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Because of the absence of clinical information and the lack of functional studies, the variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) until additional information becomes available. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R259Q variant (also known as c.776G>A), located in coding exon 7 of the APC gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 776. The arginine at codon 259 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. Missense alterations in APC are not a common cause of disease (Spier I et al. Genet Med. 2024 Feb;26(2):100992). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species; however, glutamine is the reference amino acid in other vertebrate species. In addition, in silico predictors for this gene do not accurately predict pathogenicity. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 259 of the APC protein (p.Arg259Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs767457050, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with APC-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 411335). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt APC protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 259 of the APC protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 30458888). This variant has been identified in 4/251060 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. -

The APC c.776G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg259Gln. This variant was found in a control individual in a study of Turkish breast cancer and colorectal cancer patients (Akcay et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32658311). This variant is reported in 0.0033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. In ClinVar, it is reported as uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/411335/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
