Description
The c.389-1G>C variant was identified in 3 of 152 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.020) from Portuguese and Brazilian individuals or families with MAP/AFAP/FAP (Isidro 2004, Torrezan 2013); however, control chromosomes were not evaluated in these studies. The c.389-1G>C variant was not identified in dbSNP, NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (Exome Variant Server), Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC), database MutDB, “Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database”, the ClinVar database, GeneInsight VariantWire database, and COSMIC. The variant was identified in UMD (12x as a Causal variant), with co-occurring pathogenic MUTYH variants (including: c.494A>G and c.1145G>A). The c.389-1G>C variant is predicted to cause abnormal splicing because the nucleotide substitution occurs in the invariant region of the splice consensus sequence and this variant is the type of which could be expected to cause the disorder. In addition, 5 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.
