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.

The APC c.453delA; p.Glu152LysfsTer18 variant (rs863224820, ClinVar Variation ID: 216848) is reported in the literature in several individuals affected with familial adenomatous polyposis (Friedl 2005, Gupta 2013, Heinritz 2003, Pegues 2021, Yang 2018). This variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. Friedl W and Aretz S. Familial adenomatous polyposis: experience from a study of 1164 unrelated german polyposis patients.

Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 12702169, 28185118, 20223039, 29251405, 23575299, 32543227, 23715166) -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu152Lysfs*18) in the APC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in APC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17963004, 20685668). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial adenomatous polyposis and hepatoblastoma (PMID: 12702169, 20223039, 23575299, 23715166). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216848). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The APC p.Glu152LysfsX18 variant was identified in 3 of 3892 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0008) from individuals or families with FAP (Friedl_2005, Heinitz_2003, Mankay_2017). The variant was also identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs863224820) as “With Pathogenic allele”, and in ClinVar (4x as pathogenic by Invitae, GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, Mayo Clinic, criteria provided). The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, UMD-LSDB, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, databases. The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the 1000 Genomes Project, the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project, the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The p.Glu152LysfsX18 variant was identified in a patient as co-occurring with a different germline missense variant E1317Q (Heinitz_2003). The p.Glu152LysfsX18 variant was observed in a young child (18 month) affected with hepatoblastoma (Gupta_2013), and a 12 year old girl from a FAP family who was diagnosed with extraintestinal malignancy (Rauch_2014). The c.453del variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 152 and leads to a premature stop codon 18 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the APC gene are an established mechanism of disease in FAP and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.453delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the APC gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 453, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E152Kfs*18). This mutation has been detected in multiple patients with a clinical diagnosis of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) (Heinritz W et al. Clin. Genet. 2003 Apr; 63(4):325-7; Friedl W and Aretz S. Hered Cancer Clin Pract. 2005 Sep; 3(3):95-114; Mankaney G et al. Fam. Cancer. 2017 Feb; Pegues J et al. Ear Nose Throat J, 2020 Jun;:145561320934602). It has also been detected in a child who presented with multifocal hepatic neoplasia at 18 months of age (Gupta A et al. Am. J. Surg. Pathol. 2013 Jul; 37(7):1058-66) and in another child who was diagnosed with FAP at age 10 and presented with Cushing syndrome due to an adrenocortical carcinoma at age 12 (Rauch LB et al. J. Pediatr. Gastroenterol. Nutr. 2014 Feb; 58(2):e19-20). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
