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]

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 442 of the PIK3CA protein (p.Ala442Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs200951754, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PIK3CA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 570411). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on PIK3CA protein function. 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.
