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 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 12 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 5-112840738-AC-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-112840738-AC-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 217992.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Familial adenomatous polyposis 1 Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	May 12, 2023	This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a frameshift predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 25, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp1715Glufs*29) in the APC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 1129 amino acid(s) of the APC protein. 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 (PMID: 23159591). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217992). This variant is expected to disrupt the EB1 and HDLG binding sites, which mediate interactions with the cytoskeleton (PMID: 15311282, 17293347). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect on APC protein function, this suggests that disruption of the C-terminal portion of the protein is functionally important. A different truncation (p.Tyr2645Lysfs*14) that lies downstream of this variant has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9824584, 1316610, 27081525, 8381579, 22135120, Invitae). This suggests that deletion of this region of the APC protein is causative of disease. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

not provided Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jul 05, 2017	This deletion of one nucleotide in APC is denoted c.5145delC at the cDNA level and p.Asp1715GlufsX29 (D1715EfsX29) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in brackets, is ATGA[delC]AATA. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes an Aspartic Acid to a Glutamic Acid at codon 1715, and creates a premature stop codon at position 29 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. The disrupted region at the end of the gene includes the 20-aa repeat beta-catenin down-regulating domain, the SAMP repeats/axin binding domain, the basic domain, the EB1 binding domain, and the hDLG binding domain (Azzopardi 2008). APC Asp1715GlufsX29 has been reported in at least two individuals undergoing APC genetic testing in a clinical laboratory (Kerr 2013). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

The c.5145delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 5145, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D1715Efs*29). In a large (n=1591) series of patients referred for APC testing, this alteration was detected in 2 individual(s) (Kerr SE et al. J. Mol. Diagn, 2013 Jan;15:31-43). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
