Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000546.6(TP53):c.712T>C(p.Cys238Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C238S) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome 1 Pathogenic:2
This variant is considered likely pathogenic. Functional studies indicate this variant impacts protein function [PMID: 7478555, 29979965]. This variant is expected to disrupt protein structure [Myriad internal data]. -

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. -
Li-Fraumeni syndrome Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 238 of the TP53 protein (p.Cys238Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with choroid plexus carcinoma (Invitae). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 376576). 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). This variant disrupts the p.Cys238 amino acid residue in TP53. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12406399, 14673037, 15925506). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
