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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 22 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.7, offset of 1, new splice context is: cttgccctttttaaattaAGggg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 5-112827107-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-112827107-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 433621.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr5-112827107-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Familial adenomatous polyposis 1 Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Nov 02, 2021	Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) (PMID: 9950360, 15459959, 19036155, 20685668; Invitae). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 11 of the APC gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 433621). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 15459959). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	May 01, 2023	This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. Functional studies indicate this variant impacts protein function [PMID: 15459959]. -

not provided Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	-	The c.1409-1G>A variant has been identified in the literature in 2 of 2244 proband chromosomes from individuals with FAP and non-FAP colorectal carcinoma (Aretz 2004, Wallis 1999), although no control chromosomes were tested to establish the prevalence of the variant in the general population. It is predicted to cause abnormal splicing because the nucleotide substitution occurs in the -1 position of the splice consensus sequence, and a G at this position is required for normal splicing. In summary, based on the above information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The c.1409-1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 11 of the APC gene. This pathogenic mutation has been reported in multiple FAP families, and it has been shown to create a new acceptor splice site one base pair downstream with a lower splicing efficiency but no indication of exon skipping (Wallis YL et al. J Med Genet. 1999 Jan;36(1):14-20; Aretz S et al. Hum Mutat. 2004 Nov;24(5):370-80). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
