	abstract = {<p>Pathogenic variants in , encoding epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin), have been implicated in hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC), lobular breast cancer, and both syndromic and non-syndromic cleft lip/palate (CL/P). Despite the large number of  mutations described, the nature of the phenotypic consequence of such mutations is currently not able to be predicted, creating significant challenges for genetic counselling. This study collates the phenotype and molecular data for available  variants that have been classified, using the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics criteria, as at least {\textquoteright}likely pathogenic{\textquoteright}, and correlates their molecular and structural characteristics to phenotype. We demonstrate that  variant type and location differ between HDGC and CL/P, and that there is clustering of CL/P variants within linker regions between the extracellular domains of the cadherin protein. While these differences do not provide for exact prediction of the phenotype for a given mutation, they may contribute to more accurate assessments of risk for HDGC or CL/P for individuals with specific  variants.</p>},
