The frequency of the APC I1307K mutation and its association with disease pattern was examined in 996 Ashkenazi women consisting of individuals with either sporadic (n = 382) or hereditary (n = 143) breast and/or ovarian cancer; asymptomatic BRCA1/2 mutation carriers (185delAG, 5382insC and 6174delT) (n= 53) and healthy controls (n= 418). The I1307K allele was equally distributed among women with sporadic (17/382; 4.6%) and inherited (10/143; 7%) breast and/or ovarian cancer irrespective of their being diagnosed before or after 42 years of age and among asymptomatic (7/53; 13.2%) and cancer manifesting BRCA1/2 carriers (10/143; 7%). Taken together, the prevalence of the I1307K allele was significantly higher in BRCA1/2 carriers compared to non-BRCA1/2 carriers (17/196; 8.7% and 40/800, 5%; respectively). The high prevalence of the I1307K allele among BRCA1/2 carriers is not associated with increased cancer risk but seems to be genetically connected because of Jewish ancestry.

While constitutional pathogenic variants in the gene cause familial adenomatous polyposis, c.3920T>A; p.Ile1307Lys (I1307K) has been associated with a moderate increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), particularly in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.

This study is the first attempt to evaluate the association between the APC I1307K variant and overall cancer risk. It is unique in both its large sample size and in the reliability of data in the control group. The findings described in this article have major implications in terms of identifying asymptomatic individuals who are at increased risk to harbor cancer and therefore targeted to be enrolled in specific early detection and prevention programs.

Background: There are no validated biomarkers that correlate with the prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). The CD24 and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) genes are important in the malignant transformation of gastrointestinal cells. This study examined APC and CD24 genetic polymorphisms and their possible impact on survival of patients with PDA.

Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer (CRC) is linked to genetic factors, with the APC gene being notable in various populations.
- A study involving 120 Egyptian CRC patients and 100 healthy controls found a significant association between the APC I1307K variant and increased CRC risk.
- No significant differences were observed for the APC E1317Q variant, indicating that while I1307K may elevate risk, E1317Q does not appear to have the same effect.

Purpose: APC*I1307K (c.3920T>A) is an inherited variant associated with colorectal tumour risk found almost exclusively in those of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. A single nucleotide substitution creates an oligo-adenine tract (A8) that appears to be inherently prone to further mis-pairing and slippage.
