Green List (high evidence)

ClinGen definitive. Colorectal cancers and/or polyposis reported in condition. GOF variants.

Four variants leading to partial or complete duplication of GREM1 regulatory regions or coding sequences have been reported, resulting in increased allele-specific GREM1 expression. Most are carriers of the Ashkenazi founder variant, a 40kb duplication upstream of GREM1 (SCG5-GREM1 dup).
