Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) is a gene that encodes a tumor suppressor protein that is involved in the β-Catenin/Wnt signaling pathway. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, stomach cancer, and thymus cancer.

APC is altered in 10.59% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, colorectal adenocarcinoma, rectal adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and prostate adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

APC GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in APC are APC Mutation (10.32%), APC R1450* (0.60%), APC T1556fs (0.52%), APC R876* (0.50%), and APC E1309fs (0.39%) [3].
