RCV000708001 | SCV000837111 | uncertain significance | Familial colorectal cancer | 2022-08-16 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant results in a copy number gain of the genomic region encompassing the promoter of the GREM1 gene. The precise boundaries of this event are unknown. 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. 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. |
