This report presents findings of two individuals with CRC from a single family carrying a likely-pathogenic inherited germline variant in RNF43. The study shows that this variant results in premature termination of protein synthesis, playing a role in colorectal tumorigenesis.
The role of RNF43 as a cause of an inherited predisposition to colorectal cancer (CRC) is yet to be fully explored. This report presents our findings of two individuals with CRC from a single family carrying a likely-pathogenic inherited germline variant in RNF43. The proband (III:1) and the proband's mother (II:2) were diagnosed with mismatch repair proficient CRCs at the age of 50 years and 65 years, respectively. Both patients had BRAF(V600E) mutated colon tumours, indicating that the CRCs arose in sessile serrated lesions. The germline variant RNF43:c.375+1G>A was identified in both patients. RNA studies showed that this variant resulted in an aberrantly spliced transcript, which was predicted to encode RNF43:p.Ala126Ilefs*50 resulting in premature termination of protein synthesis and was classified as a likely-pathogenic variant. Our report adds further evidence to the hereditary role of RNF43 as a tumour suppressor gene in colorectal tumorigenesis and supports the inclusion of RNF43 as a gene of interest in the investigation of CRC predispositions outside the setting of serrated polyposis.
