synonymous · exon 6

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

AXIN2 encodes a scaffold of the beta-catenin destruction complex that restrains Wnt signalling, and loss of its tumor-suppressor function is linked to colorectal cancer predisposition and to oligodontia with colorectal cancer predisposition.

VUS: PM2 supporting (absent from gnomAD) plus BP4 supporting (SpliceAI 0.001) meet no generic ACMG/AMP 2015 pathogenic or benign combination rule.
Classification rationale
PM2 BP4 VUS
AXIN2 c.1365A>T synonymous · exon 6

VUS: PM2 supporting is met because the variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 (0 of 1,559,354 alleles). VUS: BP4 supporting is met because the synonymous change has a SpliceAI maximum delta of 0.001, below the 0.1 no-impact cutoff. VUS: no pathogenic criterion is met and the only benign criterion met is BP4 supporting, so no combination rule for Benign, Likely Benign, Likely Pathogenic or Pathogenic is reached.

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.

Strength Supporting Moderate Strong Very strong
PM2 supporting Pathogenic
Met at supporting: variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (0/1,559,354 alleles), below the 0.0001 PM2 threshold.
gnomAD v4.1 (v4.1.0, GRCh38 chr17-65537671-T-A): total AC=0/AN=1,559,354 (AF=0.000000), homozygotes=0; exome AC=0/AN=1,407,484; genome AC=0 with genome AN=0 in the fetched figures; every ancestry group AF=0 (European non-Finnish AN=1,153,178; African/African American AN=73,968; South Asian AN=86,292; Admixed American AN=51,594).gnomAD v2.1 (GRCh37 17-63533789-T-A, exomes): absent, search_status absent with no errors recorded.gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer (exomes-only figures) absent and gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer (genomes-only) absent; neither subset is a standalone source_registry key, so they are documented here instead of being cited in evidence_refs.
BP4 supporting Benign
Met at supporting strength: SpliceAI max delta 0.001 is at or below the <=0.1 no-splice-impact BP4 cutoff, counted once and not reused for BP7.
Consequence type fixed first: NM_004655.4:c.1365A>T / NP_004646.3:p.(Pro455=) is synonymous, so BP4 is assessed on the SpliceAI splice path only; the REVEL missense path does not apply (REVEL not found for this variant) and BayesDel has no generic ACMG-strength calibration.SpliceAI Lookup for NM_004655.4:c.1365A>T / 17-63533789-T-A: max delta score 0.001 (DS_AG 0.000, DS_AL 0.001, DS_DG 0.001, DS_DL 0.000), DP_AG 104, DP_AL 75, DP_DG 482, DP_DL -418; Pangolin SG 0.002, SL -0.001.Threshold applied verbatim from the supplied generic ACMG/ClinGen-SVI calibration: SpliceAI max delta <= 0.1 -> BP4 (supporting) (Jaganathan et al. 2019, Cell; PMID:30661751). 0.001 satisfies it.
Assessed · not applied · 11 not met · 6 not assessed
Pathogenic
PS2 Not assessed: no proband phenotype and zero parental genotypes in the case, so a confirmed de novo occurrence can be neither shown nor excluded.
PS3 Not met: no functional assay of AXIN2 c.1365A>T (p.Pro455=) exists in any consulted source, so damaging-effect evidence is absent.
PS4 Not met: no case-control or affected-cohort enrichment data exists for this variant, which is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (0/1,559,354 alleles).
PM6 Not assessed: no proband phenotype and no parental testing status is recorded, so an assumed de novo occurrence cannot be evaluated.
PP1 Not assessed: zero pedigrees and zero genotyped relatives are available, so co-segregation and its informative meiosis count cannot be evaluated.
PP3 Not met: SpliceAI max delta 0.001 is far below the >=0.2 PP3 supporting cutoff for this synonymous variant, which is scored on the splice path only.
PP4 Not assessed: no proband phenotype or family history was available to test specificity for a single-gene AXIN2 phenotype.
PP5 Not met: ClinVar has four exact-variant submissions, none from an expert panel, with only a 2-star aggregate label.
Benign
BA1 Not met: gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency is 0 (0/1,559,354 alleles), far below the 0.05 stand-alone benign threshold.
BS1 Not met: gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency is 0 (0/1,559,354 alleles), far below the 0.01 strong benign threshold.
BS2 Not met: gnomAD v4.1 homozygote count is 0 and allele count is 0/1,559,354, so no healthy-adult carrier was observed.
BS3 Not met: no functional assay of AXIN2 c.1365A>T exists; SpliceAI max delta 0.001 is computational, not assay evidence of normal function.
BS4 Not assessed: no affected relatives are genotyped, so non-segregation cannot be demonstrated; ClinVar's benign assertions are not family-level evidence.
BP2 Not met: neither the four ClinVar submissions nor the case literature report c.1365A>T in cis or in trans with a pathogenic variant.
BP5 Not assessed: no proband-level molecular data was available to identify an alternate molecular basis for disease.
BP6 Not met: no expert-panel classification exists for this exact variant; all four ClinVar submissions are ordinary clinical laboratories (2 stars).
BP7 Not met: this synonymous variant's only supporting result, SpliceAI max delta 0.001, is already credited under BP4, and no conservation data is available.
