Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory, Catalan Institute of Oncology RCV000130072 SCV005407759 likely pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-08-16 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing c.638G>A, located in exon 6 of the TP53 gene, is predicted to result in the substitution of Arginine by Glutamine at codon 213, p.(Arg213Gln). This variant is found in 1/236928 alleles at a frequency of 0.0004% in the gnomAD v2.1.1 database, non-cancer dataset. The SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing. In-silico tools predict a pathogenic effect of the variant on protein function (aGVGD: C35; BayesDel: 0.5) (PP3). Transactivation assays show a non-functional allele according to Kato 2003 (PMID: 12826609) and there is evidence of a dominant negative effect and loss of function according to Giacomelli 2018 (PMID: 30224644) (PS3). At least, this variant has been reported in 3 individuals affected with a TP53-related phenotype, which awards 2 points to this variant as per ClinGen SVI Recommendation for LFS/Chompret Criterion (internal data, PMID: 25293557, 16736287) (PS4_moderate). It has been reported in ClinVar (13x as pathogenic, 22x as likely pathogenic, 1x NA), LOVD (3x as pathogenic, 1x as NA) and CancerHotspots (25 somatic observations, PM1). Based on the currently available information, c.638G>A is classified as a likely pathogenic variant according to ClinGen-TP53 Guidelines version 1.4.
Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM RCV000144664 SCV005329582 pathogenic Li-Fraumeni syndrome 1 2023-05-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The observed missense variant c.638G>A (p.Arg213Gln) in the TP53 gene has been reported previously in mulitple individual(s) with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) or LFS-associated malignancies. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TP53 function (Silva AG, et al., 2012; Monti P, et al., 2007). Different amino acid changes such as p.Arg213Pro and p.Arg213Leu have been reported previously as pathogenic and likely pathogenic at the same position (Dockhorn-Dworniczak B, et al., 1996; Veldore VH, et al., 2015). This variant is reported with the allele frequency 0.0004% in the gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic by multiple submitters. The amino acid Arginine at position 213 is changed to a Glutamine changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. Multiple lines of computational evidence (Polyphen - Probably damaging, SIFT - Damaging and MutationTaster - Disease causing) predict a damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. The residue is conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health RCV000123099 SCV004823777 pathogenic Li-Fraumeni syndrome 2024-01-22 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 213 in the DNA binding domain of the TP53 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant results in the loss of DNA binding and transactivation activity of TP53 protein (PMID: 7885831, 10871862, 12826609, 16736287, 24384472). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (Color internal data) and in individuals meeting the Chompret criteria of Li-Fraumeni syndrome (PMID: 17541742, 23259501). In a large pedigree that meets the Birch criteria of Li-Fraumeni-like syndrome, this variant has been shown to segregate with late-onset breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, renal cell cancer, melanoma, mesothelioma and lung cancer in 12 family members (PMID: 16736287). This variant has been observed in individuals not meeting Li-Fraumeni syndrome diagnostic criteria but affected with breast cancer (PMID: 17541742, 20522432, 31119730, 32019277; Color internal data) and sarcoma (PMID: 19468865). An analysis of IARC's TP53 germline variant dataset has shown this variant to exhibit reduced penetrance (PMID: 29076966). This variant has been identified in 1/251462 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. This variant may display reduced penetrance relative to typical pathogenic TP53 variants. Medical management should be considered based on the individual's personal and family history.

This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) or LFS-associated cancers and has been found to segregate with disease in families (PMID: 16494995, 16736287, 17541742, 18208484, 19468865, 20522432, 25293557, 28369373). Computational evidence supports a deleterious effect of this variant on protein function (Align GVGD = C35, BayesDel = 0.5033). Transactivation assays show a low functioning allele according to Kato et al., and evidence of loss of function and a dominant negative effect according to Giacomelli et al. (PMID 12826609, 30224644). This variant is a somatic hotspot variant in tumors according to the Cancer Hotspots database (cancerhotspots.org). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic.

Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251462 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.638G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome and associated cancers, and has been shown to segregate with disease within families (e.g. Ruijs_2006, Arcand_2008, Sheng_2020). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change significantly affects the functional activity of the TP53 protein, diminishing its DNA-binding and transcriptional transactivation activities in yeast-based assays, and has been functionally classified as a partial deficiency (PD) or severe deficiency (SD) allele (PMID: 16736287, 21343334, 12826609, 17606709). Ten ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

It has also been observed as early onset in an affected individual with gray zone lymphoma (PMID: 30299350 (2019)). A yeast based functional study of this variant showed a lack of transcriptional activity (PMID: 1676287 (2006)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Ambry Genetics RCV000130072 SCV000184899 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2024-11-22 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.R213Q pathogenic mutation (also known as c.638G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the TP53 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 638. The arginine at codon 213 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with similar properties. In one study, p.R213Q was detected in a 3-month-old boy with choroid plexus carcinoma whose unaffected father was also found to carry the alteration (Becherini et al. Neuropathol. Appl. Neurobiol. 2008 Oct;34(5):564-8). Other studies have reported this alteration in individuals with clinical histories suspicious for Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) (Achatz MI et al. Cancer Lett. 2007 Jan 8;245(1-2):96-102; Arcand SL et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2008 Apr;108(3):399-408; Pinto C et al. Fam. Cancer. 2009 May;8(4):383-90; Ruijs MW et al. J. Med. Genet. 2010 Jun;47(6):421-8; Desmond A et al. JAMA Oncol. 2015 Oct;1(7):943-51). This variant is in the DNA binding domain of the TP53 protein and is reported to have non-functional transactivation in yeast based assays (Kato S et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 2003 Jul;100:8424-9; Zerdoumi Y et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 2017 07;26:2591-2602). Studies conducted in human cell lines are equivocal about this variant's ability to suppress cell growth (Kotler E et al. Mol.Cell. 2018 Jul;71:178-190.e8; Giacomelli AO et al. Nat. Genet. 2018 Oct;50:1381-1387). This alteration has been detected in multiple families satisfying clinical diagnostic criteria for LFS to date (Ambry internal data). However, it has also been detected in individuals with atypical/mild LFS phenotypes, suggesting variable expressivity and penetrance (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as a pathogenic mutation.
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000123099 SCV000166400 pathogenic Li-Fraumeni syndrome 2026-01-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 213 of the TP53 protein (p.Arg213Gln). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) or LFS-associated malignancies (PMID: 16494995, 16736287, 17541742, 18208484, 19468865, 20522432, 23259501). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 135359). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (PMID: 12826609, 29979965, 30224644) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TP53 function with a positive predictive value of 97.5%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TP53 function (PMID: 12826609, 16736287, 17606709, 21343334). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
