Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
The p.M246K variant (also known as c.737T>A), located in coding exon 6 of the TP53 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 737. The methionine at codon 246 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported as a somatic mutation 11 times in various tumors, but not as a germline mutation by the IARC TP53 database (Petitjean A et al. IARC TP53 database [version R17, November 2013]. Hum. Mutat. 2007 Jun;28:622-9). This variant is in the DNA binding domain of the TP53 protein and is reported to have loss of transactivation capacity in yeast based assays (IARC TP53 database; Kato S et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 2003 Jul;100:8424-9). Pathogenic mutations at the same codon (p.M246L, p.M246I, p.M246V, p.M246T) have been reported in multiple families meeting Chompret criteria (Bardeesy N et al. Nat Genet. 1994 May;7(1):91-7; 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 majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

Li-Fraumeni syndrome Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 246 of the TP53 protein (p.Met246Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Li-Fraumeni syndrome-associated tumors (internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 480764). 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, 15630097). This variant disrupts the p.Met246 amino acid residue in TP53. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8075648, 26534844). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
