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: 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 708 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 5-112838787-CA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-112838787-CA-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 236586.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr5-112838787-CA-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Familial adenomatous polyposis 1 Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	May 08, 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	Invitae	Oct 02, 2021	ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 236586). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial adenomatous polyposis (PMID: 20685668). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1066Aspfs*60) in the APC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 1778 amino acid(s) of the APC protein. 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	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Nov 26, 2019	The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and not found in general population data. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Sep 20, 2023	The APC c.3196del; p.Arg1066AspfsTer60 variant (rs878853436) is reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP; Lagarde 2010). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 236586), but is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Additionally, several downstream truncating variants have been described in individuals with FAP and are considered pathogenic (Lagarde 2010). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Lagarde A et al.
