Genes affected

EPCAM (HGNC:11529): (epithelial cell adhesion molecule) This gene encodes a carcinoma-associated antigen and is a member of a family that includes at least two type I membrane proteins. This antigen is expressed on most normal epithelial cells and gastrointestinal carcinomas and functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule. The antigen is being used as a target for immunotherapy treatment of human carcinomas. Mutations in this gene result in congenital tufting enteropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, truncating variants in EPCAM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24142340). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal at codon 143 (p.Trp143*). It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Exon level deletions at the 3' end of EPCAM, involving exon 9 minimally, lead to transcriptional read-through into the neighboring MSH2 gene, triggering epigenetic silencing and inactivation of MSH2 (PMID: 19098912, 23938213). Loss of MSH2 subsequently causes Lynch syndrome (PMID: 23264089, 19455606, 15849733). Other pathogenic sequence changes, such as this variant c.429G>A p.Trp143*, which disrupt EPCAM protein function alone, are known causes of autosomal recessive congenital tufting enteropathy (PMID: 18572020, 20034091, 23462293). -
