RCV000534493 | SCV000657478 | uncertain significance | Familial colorectal cancer | 2022-07-18 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Two different tandem duplications (40 kb and 16 kb) spanning the 3' end of the SCG5 gene and the region upstream of the GREM1 gene have been reported in families with hereditary mixed polyposis syndrome (PMID: 22561515, 25992589, 26493165). However, the gain identified in this individual is different from those variants, and therefore the impact of the additional duplicated sequences on GREM1 expression and function has not been established. A copy number gain of the genomic region encompassing the full coding sequence of the GREM1 gene has been identified. The boundaries of this event are unknown as they extend beyond the assayed region for this gene and therefore may encompass additional genes. As the precise location of this event is unknown, it may be in tandem or it may be located elsewhere in the genome. |
