unknown · exon 6i

AXIN2 is a scaffolding protein that helps regulate the Wnt signaling pathway, a key developmental pathway controlling cell growth and fate. It is part of the beta-catenin destruction complex, where it helps mark beta-catenin for degradation when Wnt signaling is off, and it also assists in relaying Wnt signals to the nucleus when the pathway is active. AXIN2 acts as a tumor suppressor, and mutations in the gene have been linked to colorectal cancer as well as familial tooth agenesis with predisposition to colorectal cancer. Its expression has also been associated with prostate cancer recurrence.

This variant

This intronic AXIN2 variant lies in a gene whose tumor-suppressor role in Wnt and beta-catenin signaling is associated with colorectal cancer and familial tooth agenesis with colorectal-cancer predisposition.

VUS: BP4 (supporting) from SpliceAI max delta 0.06 is the only met criterion and does not satisfy a definitive ACMG/AMP combination rule.
Classification rationale
BP4 VUS
AXIN2 c.1713-18G>A unknown · exon 6i

BP4 supporting: SpliceAI max delta 0.06 is below the <=0.1 threshold for a benign splice prediction. VUS: BP4 alone does not satisfy a generic ACMG/AMP combination rule for a definitive classification.

LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.

BP4 supporting Benign
Met at supporting strength: SpliceAI max delta 0.06 meets the <=0.1 BP4 threshold.
NM_004655.4:c.1713-18G>A is an intronic variant; therefore SpliceAI is the sole applicable PP3/BP4 computational path.SpliceAI reports a maximum delta score of 0.06.The supplied generic SpliceAI calibration assigns BP4 supporting at <=0.1; the maximum delta score of 0.06 meets BP4.

Pathogenic
PVS1 Not met: intronic c.1713-18G>A is outside canonical splice positions and has SpliceAI max delta 0.06, below the 0.2 splice-impact threshold.
PS2 Not assessed: no proband de novo observation, parental genotypes, parentage confirmation, or phenotype documentation is available.
PS3 Not assessed: no validated AXIN2-specific functional assay demonstrates an abnormal effect for c.1713-18G>A.
PS4 Not assessed: no case-control counts, enrichment statistic, odds ratio, or validated PS4 threshold are available for this variant.
PM2 Not met: gnomAD v4.1 overall allele frequency 0.00158351 exceeds the PM2 threshold of 0.0001.
PM3 Not assessed: no affected-proband observation, second pathogenic allele, phase, or definitive inheritance mode is documented for PM3.
PM6 Not assessed: no presumed de novo proband finding, parental absence result, parentage information, or phenotype documentation is available.
PP1 Not assessed: no affected relatives, carrier genotypes, phenotype assessments, pedigree, or informative meiosis count is available.
PP3 Not met: SpliceAI max delta 0.06 is below the 0.2 supporting PP3 threshold.
PP4 Not assessed: no patient phenotype or specific clinical diagnosis is available to evaluate phenotype specificity for AXIN2-related disease.
PP5 Not met: ClinVar variation 136485 has zero expert-panel submissions and no exact-variant expert-panel Pathogenic or Likely pathogenic classification.
Benign
BA1 Not met: gnomAD v4.1 maximum ancestry-specific frequency 0.00618132 is below the generic BA1 threshold of 0.05.
BS1 Not met: gnomAD v4.1 maximum ancestry-specific frequency 0.00618132 is below the generic BS1 threshold of 0.01.
BS2 Not assessed: gnomAD v4.1 reports 8 homozygotes, but no phenotype or age data establish that these individuals were healthy adults.
BS3 Not assessed: no validated AXIN2-specific functional assay demonstrates a normal effect for c.1713-18G>A.
BS4 Not assessed: no family genotypes or phenotype data show that the variant fails to segregate with disease.
BP2 Not assessed: no pathogenic comparator allele or documented cis/trans phase is available, and the relevant inheritance mode is unresolved.
BP5 Not assessed: no patient-level alternate molecular explanation is documented for a phenotype associated with this variant.
BP6 Not met: ClinVar variation 136485 has zero expert-panel submissions, so its laboratory Benign or Likely benign assertions cannot trigger BP6.
