Genes affected
TP53 (HGNC:11998): (tumor protein p53) This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein containing transcriptional activation, DNA binding, and oligomerization domains. The encoded protein responds to diverse cellular stresses to regulate expression of target genes, thereby inducing cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, senescence, DNA repair, or changes in metabolism. Mutations in this gene are associated with a variety of human cancers, including hereditary cancers such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Alternative splicing of this gene and the use of alternate promoters result in multiple transcript variants and isoforms. Additional isoforms have also been shown to result from the use of alternate translation initiation codons from identical transcript variants (PMIDs: 12032546, 20937277).

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 241 of the TP53 protein (p.Ser241Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 30730202, 35451682). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 177791). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published 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, 29979965, 30224644). 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. -

The p.S241C pathogenic mutation (also known as c.722C>G), located in coding exon 6 of the TP53 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 722. The serine at codon 241 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. 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). Studies conducted in human cell lines indicate this alteration is deficient at growth suppression and has a dominant negative effect (Kotler E et al. Mol.Cell. 2018 Jul;71:178-190.e8; Giacomelli AO et al. Nat. Genet. 2018 Oct;50:1381-1387). This mutation has been identified in a family meeting classic Li-Fraumeni syndrome criteria (Sejben A et al. Orv Hetil 2019 Feb;160(6):228-234). This alteration has been observed numerous times as a somatic mutation in the cancerhotspots.org database (Chang MT et al. Cancer Discov. 2018 02;8:174-183). This variant was detected in at least one individual at an allele fraction that is suggestive of clonal hematopoiesis, a predictor of TP53 pathogenicity (Ambry internal data; Fortuno C et al. Genet Med. 2022 03;24:673-680). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
