GeneDx RCV000161059 SCV000211791 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2014-09-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This duplication of one nucleotide in TP53 is denoted c.216_217insC (aka c.216dupC) at the cDNA level and p.Val73ArgfsX76 (V73RfsX76) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are inserted in brackets, is TCCCCCC[C]GTGG. The duplication causes a frameshift, which changes a Valine to an Arginine at codon 73 in exon 4, and creates a premature stop codon at position 76 of the new reading frame. This mutation is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. TP53 c.216_217insC has been observed in an individual with osteosarcoma with a family history of early-onset breast cancer (Toguchida 1992). We consider this mutation to be pathogenic. Mosaicism for TP53 mutations has been reported in at least three patients, all of whom had cancer themselves and none of whom had a family history significant for Li Fraumeni syndrome (Prochazkova 2009, Walsh 2011, Mitchell 2013). A pathogenic mutation in this gene is indicative of Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), an autosomal dominant condition associated with a high-risk for a broad range of childhood- and adult-onset cancers. The following core cancer types account for 70-77% of LFS-associated tumors (in order of frequency): breast cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, brain tumors, osteosarcoma, and adrenocortical carcinoma (Gonzalez 2009, Olivier 2003, Ruijs 2010). Other types of cancer that have been reported to be associated with LFS include ovarian, gastrointestinal, pancreatic, genitourinary, skin, thyroid and lung cancers as well as leukemia, lymphoma, and neuroblastomas. Age-related and sex-specific cancer risks have been reported. According to one study, the overall risks for males with LFS to develop cancer by ages 16, 45, and 85 are estimated to be 19%, 41%, and 73%, respectively, whereas the risks for females are estimated to be 12%, 84%, and 100%, respectively (Chompret 2000). The higher penetrance in females is due to the high incidence of breast cancer, accounting for 80% of the cancers in the age group of 16 to 45 years (Chompret 2000). The majority of LFS-associated breast cancers are HER2/neu positive ductal carcinomas (Melhem-Bertrandt 2012). The most common types of sarcomas in LFS are rhabdomyosarcomas before age 5 and osteosarcomas at any age (Ognjanovic 2012). LFS is associated with many types of brain tumors including astrocytomas, glioblastomas, medulloblastomas and choroid plexus carcinomas, and they can occur in childhood or adulthood (Olivier 2003). Individuals with LFS who have been diagnosed with cancer have up to a 57% risk of a second primary cancer within 30 years of the first diagnosis and up to a 38% risk of a third primary diagnosis (Hisada 1998). Several studies have demonstrated that subsequent tumors often develop in the radiation field of the previously treated cancer (Chompret 2000, Hisada 1998). Approximately 24% of LFS cases result from a de novo, rather than inherited, mutation in the TP53 gene (Chompret 2000). This variant has been seen apparently mosaic. The variant is found in HEREDICANCER panel(s).
Ambry Genetics RCV000161059 SCV000275185 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2024-10-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.216dupC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 3 of the TP53 gene, results from a duplication of C at nucleotide position 216, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.V73Rfs*76). In one study, this mutation was reported in the germline of a patient with osteosarcoma at age 15y, whose mother had breast cancer at age 25y (Toguchida J et al. N Engl J Med. 1992;326(20):130-18). This mutation has also been detected in a breast cancer patient diagnosed at age 27y and an unaffected 28y/o male. Functional studies demonstrated an ~50% decrease in p53 functionality score of lymphocytes as compared to wildtype (Zerdoumi Y et al. Hum Mol Genet. 2017 Jul 15;26(14):2812). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000538223 SCV000629790 pathogenic Li-Fraumeni syndrome 2023-12-16 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val73Argfs*76) in the TP53 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TP53 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20522432). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with osteosarcoma and breast cancer (PMID: 1565143, 28369373). This variant is also known as a 1-bp insertion at codons 71-72. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182957). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

This change is predicted to cause protein truncation or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay and functional studies support a loss of p53 function (PMID: 28369373). That variant has been reported in individuals meeting clinical criteria for Li-Fraumeni syndrome (PMID: 1565143, internal data). It is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1 (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic.
