Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PM2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000038.6(APC):c.220G>A(p.Glu74Lys) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E74A) has been classified as Likely benign.

Familial adenomatous polyposis 1 Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 74 of the APC protein (p.Glu74Lys). RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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: 482335). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this missense change results in skipping of exon 3 and intron 3 inclusion, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (internal data). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The c.220G>A pathogenic mutation (also known as p.E74K), located in coding exon 2 of the APC gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 220. The amino acid change results in glutamic acid to lysine at codon 74, an amino acid with similar properties. However, this change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 2, which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. This variant was reported in individuals with features consistent with APC-related familial adenomatous polyposis (Ambry internal data). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. However, alterations that result in premature termination in coding exon 2 may be associated with an attenuated phenotype and can have reduced penetrance compared to classic familial adenomatous polyposis syndrome. Clinical correlation is advised. -
