Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1_SupportingPS4PS2_ModeratePP2PM2_SupportingPS3_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.3140A>G (NM_006218.4) variant in PIK3CA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of (p.His1047Arg). This variant is present in one individual in gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls (PS4_VS; PMIDs: 27191687, 28328134, 25292196, 22729222, 25424831, 465 entries in COSMIC, Segmental overgrowth or vascular malformation of a limb or region of the body, present in patient derived cell lines). 60 independent Ba/F3 and 57 independent MCF10A experiments showed this variant has a proliferative effect indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PMID:29533785 ) (PS3_Moderate). This variant resides within the kinase domain of PIK3CA that is defined as a critical functional domain by the ClinGen BMEP (PMIDs: 26637981, 24459181, 27631024) (PM1_Supporting). PIK3CA, in which the variant was identified, is defined by the ClinGen Brain Malformations Expert Panel as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (PP2). Testing of unaffected and affected tissue show variable allelic fractions consistent with a post-zygotic event (PS2_Moderate; PMID:25424831). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for mosaic autosomal dominant overgrowth with or without cerebral malformations due to abnormalities in MTOR-pathway genes based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Brain Malformations Expert Panel: PM2_P, PS4_VS, PS3_M, PM1_P, PP2, PS2_M; 15 points (VCEP specifications version 1; Approved: 1/31/2021) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA123326/MONDO:0016054/018

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]

Reported as a somatic variant in various tumor samples (Campbell et al., 2004; Li et al., 2005); Published functional studies demonstrate increased lipid kinase activity and transforming activities, and a mouse model with this variant demonstrated increased body weight, increased organ size, and severe metabolic defects (Ikenoue et al., 2005; Kinross et al., 2015); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16322209, 15289301, 15016963, 25599672, 23100325, 25550458, 15930273, 16432179, 19805105, 21708979, 15520168, 15784156, 27631024, 24903541, 22658544, 32770747, 34568242, 34075207) -

The PIK3CA c.3140A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.His1047Arg. This variant has been reported to be mosaic in several individuals with CLOVES syndrome or megalencephaly-capillary malformation syndrome (Kurek et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22658544; D'Gama et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25599672; Mirzaa et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27631024). This variant is reported in 0.00089% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The PIK3CA c.3140A>G (p.His1047Arg) variant was identified. This variant has been reported in numerous individuals affected with PROS disorders (McNulty SN et al., PMID: 31585106; Keppler-Noreuil KM et al., PMID: 24782230; Mirzaa G et al., PMID: 27631024; Kurek KC et al, PMID: 22658544). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as pathogenic/likely pathogenic both in a germline and a somatic state by numerous submitters, including an expert panel (ClinVar ID: 13652). It has also been reported in multiple cases in the cancer database COSMIC (COSMIC ID: COSV55873195). This variant is absent from the general population (gnomAD v.4.1.0), indicating it is not a common variant. The PIK3CA c.3140A>G (p.His1047Arg) variant resides within the kinase domain of PIK3CA that is defined as a critical functional domain (Zhao L et al., PMID: 18268322; Samuels Y et al., PMID: 15016963; Lai A et al., PMID: 35997716). Functional studies showed autonomous activation and enhanced Akt-mTOR signaling in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo, indicating that this variant impacts protein function (Yuan W et al., PMID: 22370636; Loconte DC et al., PMID: 25915946; Rios JJ et al., PMID: 23100325; Lindhurst MJ et al., PMID: 22729222; Tikoo A et al., PMID: 22666336). Other variants in the same codon, c.3140A>T (p.His1047Leu) and c.3139C>T (p.His1047Tyr), have been reported in individuals with PROS disorders and are considered pathogenic (McNulty SN et al., PMID: 31585106; Keppler-Noreuil KM et al., PMID: 24782230; ClinVar ID: 13653, 39705). The PIK3CA gene is defined by the ClinGen Brain Malformation Expert Panel as a gene with a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common disease mechanism (Lai A et al., PMID: 35997716). A large number of PI3K/AKT pathway inhibitors are currently under clinical study, in both PROS disorders and cancer (Jin N et al., PMID: 34779417; Venot Q et al., PMID: 29899452; Parker VER et al., PMID: 30270358). Based on an internally developed protocol informed by the ACMG/AMP guidelines (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), and gene-specific practices from the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry, the PIK3CA c.3140A>G (p.His1047Arg) variant is classified as pathogenic. -
