This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000546.6: c.393C>A variant in TP53 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of asparagine by lysine at amino acid 131 (p.Asn131Lys). This variant has been reported in 3 unrelated families] meeting Revised Chompret criteria with one of these cases including an individual under the age of 40 diagnosed with a HER2+ breast cancer. Based on this evidence, this variant scores 2 total points meeting the TP53 VCEP phenotype scoring criteria of 2-3.5 points. (PS4_Moderate; Internal lab contributors). This variant has been observed in 2-3 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_Supporting; Internal lab contributors). This variant has an allele frequency of 0.000008055 (13/1613958 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 partially functional transactivation, and retained growth suppression activity indicating that this variant does not impact protein function (BS3_Supporting; PMIDs: 12826609, 29979965, 30224644). Due to conflicting evidence, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance for Li Fraumeni syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen TP53 VCEP: PS4_Moderate, BS2_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, BS3_Supporting.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome Uncertain:3
This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 131 of the TP53 protein (p.Asn131Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs769270327, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TP53-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 246429). 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 does not substantially affect TP53 function (PMID: 12826609, 29979965, 30224644). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
This missense variant replaces asparagine with lysine at codon 131 of the TP53 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). An experimental functional studies in yeast demonstrated a partial impact of this variant on TP53 transactivation activity (PMID 12826609), but the variant behaved like wild-type in human cell growth suppression and proliferation assays (PMID: 29979965, 30224644). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 4/282018 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. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16546179, 12826609, 25412846, 28222664, 29979965, 28861920, 30840781, 30224644, 23117049, 35514255, 34273903, 36353970, 15510160) -
The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00029 (3/10362 chromosomes in Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with myeloid neoplasm (PMID: 25412846 (2015)) and breast cancer (PMID: 27713152 (2016)) but has not been confirmed to occur in the germline state in the literature. Functional studies have concluded this variant to be partially functional in transactivation (PMID: 12826609 (2003)) and mostly functional in cell proliferation (PMID: 29979965 (2018)). In addition, the variant did not exhibit loss of function (LOF) or dominant negative effect (DNE) (PMID: 30224644 (2018)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
The p.N131K variant (also known as c.393C>A), located in coding exon 4 of the TP53 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 393. The asparagine at codon 131 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant is in the DNA binding domain of the TP53 protein and is reported to have partially 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 proficient at growth suppression and has no 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). While there are no reports of p.N131K as a germline alteration in the literature, another alteration at this same position, p.N131I, was reported in a Li-Fraumeni syndrome family (Agarwalla PK et al. Pediatr Neurosurg. 2008;44(6):501-8). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
