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]

PIK3CA (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain C2 PI3K-type (size 157) in uniprot entity PK3CA_HUMAN there are 6 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (86%) in NM_006218.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_006218.4. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.
• PP5: Variant 3-179210289-TAGA-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-179210289-TAGA-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 39706.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Apr 01, 2022	The PIK3CA c.1359_1361del; p.Glu453del variant (rs587776933) is reported in the literature in several individuals affected with megalencephaly-capillary malformation (MCAP) or megalencephaly-polymicrogyria-polydactyly-hydrocephalus (MPPH) syndromes and was found to occur de novo in at least two (Mirzaa 2016, Riviere 2012). This variant is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant deletes a single glutamate residue leaving the rest of the protein in-frame. Functional studies suggest cells expressing the variant protein have increased phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate levels, suggestive of elevated PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling (Riviere 2012). Additionally, another variant at this codon (c.1357G>A; p.Glu453Lys) has been reported in individuals with MCAP or other overgrowth syndromes and is considered disease-causing (Mirzaa 2016). Based on available information, the p.Glu453del variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Mirzaa G et al.

This variant, c.1359_1361del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the PIK3CA protein (p.Glu453del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 39706). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with PIK3CA-related overgrowth syndrome (PMID: 22729224, 27631024, 28502725, 32778138; Invitae). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -
