Variant summary
Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points: 1P and 9B. BS3BS2BP4PM2_Supporting
This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000546.6: c.949C>A variant in TP53 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of glutamic acid by lysine at amino acid 317 (p.Gln317Lys). This variant has been observed in 4-7 heterozygous unrelated females from the same data source with no personal history of cancer prior to age 60 years and no personal history of sarcoma at any age (BS2_Moderate; Internal lab contributors). This variant has an allele frequency of 0.000008674 (14/1614016 alleles) across gnomAD v4.1.0 which is lower than the Clingen TP53 VCEP threshold (<0.00003) for PM2_Supporting and has a subpopulation allele frequency of <0.00004 in all non-bottleneck populations with 2 or more alleles present (PM2_Supporting). In vitro assays performed in yeast and/or human cell lines showed functional transactivation and retained growth suppression activity indicating that this variant does not impact protein function (BS3; PMIDs: 12826609, 29979965, 30224644). Computational predictor scores (BayesDel = -0.1674; Align GVGD Class C0) are below the recommended thresholds (BayesDel ≤ -0.008 and an Align GVGD Class ≤ 55), evidence that does not predict a damaging effect on TP53 via protein change. SpliceAI predicts that the variant has no impact on splicing. (BP4_Moderate). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Benign for Li Fraumeni syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen TP53 VCEP: BS2_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, BS3, BP4_Moderate.

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 30441849 (2018)) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (PMID: 25527155 (2015)). Functional studies indicate that this variant retains binding and transcriptional activity (PMID: 12826609 (2003), 30224644 (2018)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000071 (2/282868 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
This variant is denoted TP53 c.949C>A at the cDNA level, p.Gln317Lys (Q317K) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamine to a Lysine (CAG>AAG). Kantorova et al. (2014) observed this variant in an individual with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and concluded that it preserves transcriptional activity in an in vitro-based functional assay. Additionally, TP53 Gln317Lys is reported as functional by in the International Agency for Research on Cancer TP53 database based on transactivation assays completed by Kato et al. (2003). TP53 Gln317Lys was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Since Glutamine and Lysine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. TP53 Gln317Lys occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located within a nuclear localization signal (Shaulsky 1990, Pessoa 2014). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether TP53 Gln317Lys is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2Benign:1
This missense variant replaces glutamine with lysine at codon 317 of the TP53 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. Functional studies have shown that the mutant protein retains normal function (PMID 12826609, 25527155, 30224644). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (PMID 25527155). In a large international case-control meta-analysis, this variant was reported in 5/60466 breast cancer cases and 4/53461 controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 2/282868 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
