Ambry Genetics RCV000492666 SCV000581087 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-04-05 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.C238R pathogenic mutation (also known as c.712T>C), located in coding exon 6 of the TP53 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 712. The cysteine at codon 238 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. Although this specific alteration has not been reported in the literature, several other alterations at this amino acid position (p.C238S, p.C238G and p.C238Y) have been reported in patients with Li-Fraumeni or Li-Fraumeni-Like syndrome and classified as severe deficiency alleles based on functional studies (Kurtilkova et al Eur J Cancer. 2005 Jul;41(11):1597-603; Balmaña J et al. Med Clin (Barc) 2002 Oct;119(13):497-9; Monti P et al. Mol. Cancer Res. 2011 Mar;9(3):271-9); internal Ambry data). This variant is reported to have loss of transactivation capacity in yeast based functional assays (IARC TP53 database; Kato S et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2003 Jul 8;100(14):8424-9). This alteration is located in the DNA binding domain of the TP53 protein and is one of four residues involved in binding a zinc atom necessary for the protein to adopt the correct conformation (Martin et al Hum. Mutat. 2002 Feb;19(2):149-64). Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is anticipated to result in a significant decrease in structural stability (Cho Y, Science 1994 Jul; 265(5170):346-55). In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by BayesDel in silico analysis.This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the available evidence, p.C238R is classified as a pathogenic mutation.
Invitae RCV000812726 SCV000953049 pathogenic Li-Fraumeni syndrome 2019-04-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing An experimental study in yeast has shown that this variant impairs the transcriptional transactivation activity of the TP53 protein (PMID: 12826609). This variant has been observed to be de novo in an individual affected with choroid plexus carcinoma (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 376576). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine with arginine at codon 238 of the TP53 protein (p.Cys238Arg). The cysteine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and arginine. This variant disrupts the p.C238 amino acid residue in TP53. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in affected individuals (PMID:  12406399, 14673037, 15925506), suggesting that it is a clinically significant residue. As a result, variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be causative of disease. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
