Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_Moderate

The NM_006218.4(PIK3CA):​c.112C>T​(p.Arg38Cys) 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. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R38G) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected
PIK3CA (HGNC:8975): (phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha) Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase is composed of an 85 kDa regulatory subunit and a 110 kDa catalytic subunit. The protein encoded by this gene represents the catalytic subunit, which uses ATP to phosphorylate PtdIns, PtdIns4P and PtdIns(4,5)P2. This gene has been found to be oncogenic and has been implicated in cervical cancers. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

PM1
In a domain PI3K-ABD (size 89) in uniprot entity PK3CA_HUMAN there are 16 pathogenic changes around while only 4 benign (80%) in NM_006218.4
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr3-179198938-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 376492.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
PP2
Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, PIK3CA
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.889

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMay 24, 2023In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Has not been previously reported as a pathogenic or benign germline variant to our knowledge; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29438965, 26619011, 31565188, 33148674, 32269842, 34693559, 35070505, 35626111) -
Cowden syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 07, 2021In 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with PIK3CA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 376493). This variant is present in population databases (rs749415085, ExAC 0.002%). This sequence change replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 38 of the PIK3CA protein (p.Arg38Cys). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine. -
