Description
The p.Gly2502Ser variant was previously identified in the literature in 138 of 6866 proband chromosomes (frequency 0.020) from individuals with adenoma or colorectal cancer and in 157 of 8192 control chromosomes (frequency 0.019) from healthy individuals (Cleary 2008, Hadjisavvas 2006, Miyoshi 1992, Scott 2004, Tranah 2005, Wong 2010, Zhou 2004). This variant was also identified in the dbSNP (ID#rs2229995), HGMD, and LOVD databases, and was reported in several populations including the ESP Project with a frequency of 0.020 in European American alleles, the 1000 Genomes Project with a frequency of 0.010, and HapMap-CEU with a frequency of 0.032. The p.Gly2502 residue is not conserved through evolution and the variant (Ser) is found at this position in chicken and fruitfly, increasing the likelihood that this is a benign variant. In addition, Tranah (2005) found that this variant was not associated with risk of colorectal cancer or adenoma in men and women, and Zhou (2004) did not observe segregation of this variant with disease. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign.
