Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -5 ACMG points: 1P and 6B. BP4PM2_SupportingBS3BS2_Supporting
This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000546.6: c.188C>G variant in TP53 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Alanine by Glycine at amino acid 63 (p.Ala63Gly). 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 0.00001525 (18/1180022 alleles) in the European non-Finnish population in gnomAD v4.1.0 which is lower than the Clingen TP53 VCEP threshold (<0.00004) for PM2_Supporting, and therefore meets this criterion (PM2_Supporting). In vitro assays performed in yeast and/or human cell lines showed functional transactivation and retained growth suppression activity indicating that this variant does not impact protein function (BS3; PMIDs: 12826609, 29979965, 30224644). Computational predictor scores (BayesDel = -0.156; Align GVGD Class C0) are below the recommended thresholds (BayesDel ≤ -0.008 and an Align GVGD Class ≤ 55), evidence that does not predict a damaging effect on TP53 via protein change. Although SpliceAI predicts a weak potential splice effect, expert review suggests that there is no actual impact on the native site, and the variant is therefore considered to have no impact on splicing (BP4_Moderate). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely Benign for Li Fraumeni syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen TP53 VCEP: BS2_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, BS3, BP4_Moderate.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome Uncertain:2Benign:1
This variant is located in the TP53 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant behaves like wild-type in yeast transactivation studies and human cell growth suppression assays (PMID: 11359905, 12826609, 30224644). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with TP53-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/31376 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.
The NM_000546.6: c.188C>G variant in TP53 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Alanine by Glycine at amino acid 63 (p.Ala63Gly). 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 0.00001525 (18/1180022 alleles) in the European non-Finnish population in gnomAD v4.1.0 which is lower than the Clingen TP53 VCEP threshold (<0.00004) for PM2_Supporting, and therefore meets this criterion (PM2_Supporting). In vitro assays performed in yeast and/or human cell lines showed functional transactivation and retained growth suppression activity indicating that this variant does not impact protein function (BS3; PMIDs: 12826609, 29979965, 30224644). Computational predictor scores (BayesDel = -0.156; Align GVGD Class C0) are below the recommended thresholds (BayesDel ≤ -0.008 and an Align GVGD Class ≤ 55), evidence that does not predict a damaging effect on TP53 via protein change. Although SpliceAI predicts a weak potential splice effect, expert review suggests that there is no actual impact on the native site, and the variant is therefore considered to have no impact on splicing (BP4_Moderate). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely Benign for Li Fraumeni syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen TP53 VCEP: BS2_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, BS3, BP4_Moderate. (Bayesian Points: -6; VCEP specifications version 2.1; 1/16/2025)
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 63 of the TP53 protein (p.Ala63Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with acute lymphocytic leukemia (PMID: 29300620). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229693). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 12826609, 29979965, 30224644) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt TP53 function with a negative predictive value of 97.5%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect TP53 function (PMID: 12826609, 30224644). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). 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.
not provided Uncertain:2Benign:1
Variant summary: The c.188C>G (p.Ala63Gly) in TP53 gene is a missense variant involves a non-conserved nucleotide and 3/5 in silico tools predict benign outcome. The variant is located within the mSin3a binding site, which is required for stabilization of p53 protein. In the functional study A63G was able to bind to mSin3a and thus prevent p53 from degradation. The variant is absent from control population datasets of ExAC and gnomAD. To our knowledge, the variant has not been reported in affected individuals via published reports, but is cited as VUS by reputable databases/clinical laboratories. Taken together, the variant was classified as VUS, until new information becomes available.
Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; Published functional studies demonstrate no damaging effect: functional transactivation, as reported by the International Agency for Research on Cancer TP53 database (Kato 2003); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 30886117, 30224644, 12826609, 15450421, 11024481, 11359905, 14559903)
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
This variant is located in the TP53 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant behaves like wild-type in yeast transactivation studies and human cell growth suppression assays (PMID: 11359905, 12826609, 30224644). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with TP53-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/31376 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.
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
not specified Uncertain:1
The p.Ala63Gly variant in TP53 has not been previously reported as a germline va riant in individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome or in large population studies. C omputational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Ala63Gly variant is uncertain.
