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.

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 2046 of the APC protein (p.Ala2046Thr). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28195393). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 185089). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on APC protein function. 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. -

The p.A2046T variant (also known as c.6136G>A), located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 6136. The alanine at codon 2046 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. One study detected this alteration in 1/274 familial colorectal cancer patients who underwent multigene panel testing (Hansen MF et al. Clin. Genet., 2017 Oct;92:405-414). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, in silico predictors for this gene do not accurately predict pathogenicity. 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 missense variant replaces alanine with threonine at codon 2046 of the APC protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 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 colorectal cancer (PMID: 28195393). This variant has been identified in 2/250780 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The APC c.6136G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala2046Thr. This variant has been reported in an individual with familial colorectal cancer (Hansen et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28195393). This variant is reported in 0.0054% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/185089/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
