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.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This deletion of 4 nucleotides in APC is denoted c.6059_6062delGTTT at the cDNA level and p.Cys2020SerfsX23 (C2020SfsX23) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in brackets, is GTTT[delGTTT]CTCA. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes a Cysteine to a Serine at codon 2020, and creates a premature stop codon at position 23 of the new reading frame. Even though nonsense-mediated decay is not expected to occur due to the position of the variant, it is significant since the last 824 amino acids are replaced by 22 incorrect amino acids and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation, resulting in the loss of several functional domains (Azzopardi 2008). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature. Based on the currently available information, we consider this deletion to be a likely pathogenic variant. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys2020Serfs*23) in the APC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 824 amino acid(s) of the APC protein. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the C-terminus of the APC protein. Other variant(s) that disrupt this region (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 variants that disrupt this region of the protein are likely to be causative of disease. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with APC-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 233077). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.6059_6062delGTTT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 15 of the APC gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides between nucleotide positions 6059 and 6062, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. Since frameshifts are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -
