The NM_000546.6(TP53):c.523C>G (p.Arg175Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The gene TP53 is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 1768 TSG, 396 oncogene, 578 driver citations). The gene TP53 is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 1768 TSG, 396 oncogene, 578 driver citations). The gene TP53 is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 1768 TSG, 396 oncogene, 578 driver citations). The variant has a gnomAD grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) of 0.00000072, indicating it is observed in the general population. Note: a gnomAD entry for this variant shows a statistical allele-bias signature, consistent with mosaic/somatic contamination (e.g. age-related clonal hematopoiesis) rather than true inherited population frequency — this frequency should not be read as evidence of a common, benign germline variant. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000545325: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TP53 function (PMID:8062826, 9546439, 12007217, 12826609, 20516128, 21343334, 23263379, 24573247)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.R175H: Pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 12374, 3 stars) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.R175?: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 2687679, 0 stars); p.R175C: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 245851, 3 stars); p.R175= (synonymous): Benign/Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1527986, 2 stars) A different missense variant at the same amino acid position has been reported as oncogenic in ClinVar. The variant position is a cancer hotspot (cancerhotspots.org): 570 samples carry this exact amino acid change out of 2850 samples with a variant at this residue. The variant has been observed in cBioPortal in 152 samples across 53 studies and 44 cancer types; somatic enrichment level: MODERATE (Observed in many cases across multiple studies/cancer contexts.). This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance; it is also listed as a COSMIC curated somatic variant.

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).
