In addition to classic germline APC gene variants, APC mosaicism and deep intronic germline APC variants have also been reported to be causes of adenomatous polyposis. In this study, we investigated 80 unexplained colorectal polyposis patients without germline pathogenic variants in known polyposis predisposing genes to detect mosaic and deep intronic APC variants. All patients developed more than 50 colorectal polyps, with adenomas being predominantly observed. To detect APC mosaicism, we performed next-generation sequencing (NGS) in leukocyte DNA. Furthermore, using Sanger sequencing, the cohort was screened for the following previously reported deep intronic pathogenic germline APC variants: c.1408 + 731C > T, p.(Gly471Serfs55), c.1408 + 735A > T, p.(Gly471Serfs55), c.1408 + 729A > G, p.(Gly471Serfs55) and c.532-941G > A, p.(Phe178Argfs22). We did not detect mosaic or intronic APC variants in the screened unexplained colorectal polyposis patients. The results of this study indicate that the deep intronic APC variants investigated in this study are not a cause of colorectal polyposis in this Dutch population. In addition, NGS did not detect any further mosaic variants in our cohort.
除了经典的胚系 APC 基因突变外,APC 镶嵌性和深内含子胚系 APC 突变也被报道为腺瘤性息肉病的病因。在这项研究中,我们调查了 80 名无胚系致病性变异的不明原因结直肠息肉病患者,以检测镶嵌性和深内含子 APC 变异。所有患者均发展出超过 50 个结直肠息肉,主要观察到腺瘤。为了检测 APC 镶嵌性,我们在白细胞 DNA 中进行了下一代测序(NGS)。此外,通过 Sanger 测序,该队列被筛选了以下先前报道的深内含子致病性胚系 APC 变异:c.1408 + 731C > T,p.(Gly471Serfs55),c.1408 + 735A > T,p.(Gly471Serfs55),c.1408 + 729A > G,p.(Gly471Serfs55)和 c.532-941G > A,p.(Phe178Argfs22)。我们在筛查的不明原因结直肠息肉病患者中未检测到镶嵌性或内含子 APC 变异。本研究的结果表明,本研究中调查的深内含子 APC 变异不是荷兰人群结直肠息肉病的病因。此外,NGS 在我们的队列中未检测到任何其他镶嵌变体。
