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 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 5-112775738-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-112775738-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 860187.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr5-112775738-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Familial adenomatous polyposis 1 Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Apr 27, 2023	This variant is considered 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. mRNA analysis has demonstrated abnormal mRNA splicing occurs [PMID: 12010888]. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 03, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in exon skipping and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 15459959). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 860187). This variant is also known as Ex 4 SD+1 G‚ÜíA. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with familial adenomatous polyposis (PMID: 12010888, 15459959). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 5 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. -

The c.531+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 4 of the APC gene. This alteration has been observed in at least one individual with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with APC-related disease (Ambry internal data). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Another alteration impacting the same donor site (c.531+1G>C) has been shown to result in exon skipping which results in a premature termination codon and has also been detected in affected individuals (Ambry internal data). 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. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
