Ambry Genetics RCV000164164 SCV000214782 likely benign Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2021-11-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00036 in 276380 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00087 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 30-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in CDH1 causing Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer phenotype (2.8e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of East Asian origin. c.2638G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with cancer, including diffuse gastric cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and colorectal cancer as well as in unaffected controls (example, Momozawa_2018, Cho_2017, Mandelker_2017, Yurgelun_2017, Ohmoto_2016, Choi_2020, Pan_2022). Additionally, three large-scale case-control studies suggest the carrier frequency of this variant is no different as in the breast cancer cohort, the biliary tract cancer cohort and the Hereditary Colorectal Cancer, respectively (example, Momozawa_2018, Fujita_2020, Okawa_2023). At-least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant(s) has been observed at our laboratory (PTEN c.423delT, p.Arg142GlyfsX5), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant through usage of slow aggregation assays demonstrating that cells overexpressing the variant of interest aggregated as efficiently as did wild-type CDH1-overexpressing cells (Cho_2017). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32241597, 26692440, 33309985, 28873162, 30287823, 28522256, 34537906, 28135145, 36243179). Seven submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 with a predominant consensus classification of benign/likely benign (Benign, n=1; likely benign, n=4; VUS, n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV001355037 SCV001549799 uncertain significance Malignant tumor of breast no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The CDH1 p.Glu880Lys variant was identified in 2 of 160 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0125) from individuals or families with sporadic diffuse gastric cancer (Cho 2017). The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs34507583) as “with uncertain significance allele” and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Color, Ambry Genetics and GeneDx and likely benign by Invitae). The variant was identified in control databases in 22 of 251,400 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00009 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: East Asian in 16 of 18,394 chromosomes (freq: 0.0009), Latino in 4 of 34,592 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), South Asian in 1 of 30,616 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), European in 1 of 113,700 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009), while the variant was not observed in the African, Ashkenazi Jewish, Finnish and Other populations. In one study, in vitro expression of the variant had no observed effect on cell aggregation (Cho 2017) The p.Glu880 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance.
