Invitae | RCV000476663 | SCV000564020 | pathogenic | Familial adenomatous polyposis 1 | 2016-08-18 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exons 6-16 of the APC gene. The 5' boundary is likely confined to intron 6. The 3' end of this event is unknown as it extends through the termination codon beyond the assayed region for this gene and may encompass additional genes. While this deletion is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated APC protein. Truncating variants in APC are known to be pathogenic. A gross deletion encompassing the same exons has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with familial adenomatous polyposis (PMID: 20223039). In the literature, this copy number change is reported as a deletion of exons 5-15. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
