unknown · exon 4i

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 AXIN2 intronic variant lies in a gene encoding a Wnt-pathway scaffolding tumor suppressor associated with colorectal cancer and familial tooth agenesis with colorectal cancer predisposition.

VUS: BP4 (supporting) was the only met criterion, and one supporting benign criterion does not meet generic ACMG/AMP benign or likely benign thresholds.
Classification rationale
BP4 VUS
AXIN2 c.1059+8C>T unknown · exon 4i

VUS: BP4 (supporting) is met because SpliceAI maximum delta is 0.001, below the <=0.1 threshold.

BP4 → VUS
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, supporting: SpliceAI maximum delta 0.001 is below the <=0.1 BP4 threshold.
SpliceAI reports DS_AG 0.000, DS_AL 0.001, DS_DG 0.001, and DS_DL 0.000 for NM_004655.4:c.1059+8C>T; the maximum delta is 0.001.The supplied generic SpliceAI calibration assigns BP4 supporting strength at max delta <=0.1, from Jaganathan et al. 2019, Cell (PMID:30661751).
Assessed · not applied · 7 not met · 12 not assessed
Pathogenic
PVS1 Not met: noncanonical c.1059+8 intronic variant has no established protein consequence and SpliceAI max delta 0.001, so generic PVS1 is unsupported.
PS2 Not assessed: no parental testing or confirmed de novo occurrence is documented for NM_004655.4:c.1059+8C>T.
PS3 Not assessed: no variant-specific RNA, protein, cellular, or other validated functional assay result was reported for AXIN2 c.1059+8C>T.
PS4 Not assessed: no exact-variant case-control enrichment, affected-case count, odds ratio, or other prevalence metric is available.
PM2 Not met: the default gnomAD v4.1 overall allele frequency is 0.000270314, above the generic PM2 threshold of 0.0001.
PM3 Not assessed: no affected-proband observation or documented pathogenic variant in trans, phase, or recessive inheritance context is available.
PM6 Not assessed: no presumed de novo report, proband phenotype, or parental-testing context is documented for this variant.
PP1 Not assessed: zero informative familial meioses or affected-relative segregation observations are documented for this variant.
PP3 Not met: SpliceAI maximum delta 0.001 is below the >=0.2 supporting PP3 threshold.
PP4 Not assessed: no patient phenotype is documented to evaluate specificity for an AXIN2-related disorder.
PP5 Not met: exact-variant ClinVar record 136475 has 0 expert-panel submissions and no Pathogenic or Likely pathogenic expert-panel classification.
Benign
BA1 Not met: the highest default all-comers population allele frequency is 0.00770843, below the generic BA1 threshold of 0.05.
BS1 Not met: the highest default all-comers population allele frequency is 0.00770843, below the generic BS1 threshold of 0.01.
BS2 Not assessed: gnomAD reports 3 homozygotes, but unaffected status and AXIN2 penetrance are not established for BS2.
BS3 Not assessed: no controlled variant-specific assay demonstrated normal or benign AXIN2 function for c.1059+8C>T.
BS4 Not assessed: no genotype-confirmed affected and unaffected relatives are available to demonstrate non-segregation.
BP2 Not assessed: no documented in-trans or in-cis pathogenic-variant co-occurrence, phase result, or applicable inheritance context is available.
BP5 Not assessed: no documented in-cis pathogenic variant or co-occurrence evidence is available for this exact variant.
BP6 Not met: exact-variant ClinVar record 136475 has 0 expert-panel submissions, so single-submitter Benign/Likely benign labels do not qualify for BP6.
