Genes affected

CDKN2A (HGNC:1787): (cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A) This gene generates several transcript variants which differ in their first exons. At least three alternatively spliced variants encoding distinct proteins have been reported, two of which encode structurally related isoforms known to function as inhibitors of CDK4 kinase. The remaining transcript includes an alternate first exon located 20 Kb upstream of the remainder of the gene; this transcript contains an alternate open reading frame (ARF) that specifies a protein which is structurally unrelated to the products of the other variants. This ARF product functions as a stabilizer of the tumor suppressor protein p53 as it can interact with, and sequester, the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase MDM2, a protein responsible for the degradation of p53. In spite of the structural and functional differences, the CDK inhibitor isoforms and the ARF product encoded by this gene, through the regulatory roles of CDK4 and p53 in cell cycle G1 progression, share a common functionality in cell cycle G1 control. This gene is frequently mutated or deleted in a wide variety of tumors, and is known to be an important tumor suppressor gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2012]

In the published literature, the variant has been reported in multiple individuals with melanoma as well as in unaffected controls (PMIDs: 10398427 (1999), 16234564 (2005), 19320745 (2009), 21325014 (2011), 25780468 (2014), and 29641532 (2018)). Additionally, it has been reported in affected individuals with childhood leukemia (PMID:26104880 (2015)), breast cancer (PMID: 25186627 (2015)), pancreatic cancer (PMID: 26483394 (2016)), osteosarcoma (PMID: 32191290 (2020)), and colorectal cancer (PMIDs: 28135145 (2017) and 28944238 (2017)). Published functional studies have reported inconclusive results on the effect this variant on CDK2NA protein function (PMID: 35001868 (2022), 34369425 (2022)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Melanoma-pancreatic cancer syndrome

Uncertain:3

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	St. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital	Oct 28, 2021	The CDKN2A c.373G>C (p.Asp125His) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.020% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/9-21970985-C-G). Six of six in silico tools predict a benign effect of this variant on protein function (BP4), but to our knowledge these predictions have not been confirmed by functional assays. This variant has been reported in two families where at least two affected individuals in each family harbored the variant (PP1; PMID: 32989607), in an individual with a first-degree relative with melanoma (PS4_supporting; PMID: 12072543), as well as in three individuals with presumed sporadic melanoma (PMID: 17218939). In addition, it has been reported in one individual with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 26483394), three individuals with osteosarcoma (PMID: 32191290), two individuals with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (PMID: 26104880), and one individual with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28944238). It has also been reported in a total of three non-cancer control subjects (PMID: 27640074, 29641532). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PS4_supporting, PP1, BP4. -

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Mar 20, 2024	Variant summary: CDKN2A c.373G>C (p.Asp125His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Ankyrin repeat-containing domain (IPR020683) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00035 in 1612370 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00046 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database (v4.0.0). The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.5 fold the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in CDKN2A causing Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma phenotype (0.0003), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. c.373G>C has been reported in the literature in multiple isolated reports of individuals affected with cutaneous/malignant/familial melanoma, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, childhood B-ALL, and among individuals in a study of patients enrolled in the Mayo Clinic Pancreatic Cancer patient registry (example, Begg_2005, Berwick_2006, Yurgelun_2017, Tung_2015, Xu_2015). One study examining the prevalence and predictors of germline CDKN2A mutations in melanoma cases from Australia, Spain and the UK reported this variant as "non-pathogenic" (Harland_2014). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant (Kimura_2022, Li_2022). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21462282, 25780468, 25186627, 26483394, 16896043, 18335566, 17218939, 12072543, 16234564, 19320745, 15146471, 26104880, 28135145, 27756164, 27960642, 28765326, 9166859, 16818274, 18519632, 7718873, 29758216, 10398427, 35001868, 34369425). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41577). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

The CDKN2A gene encodes two different proteins, p16INK4a and p14ARF, which are translated from alternative transcripts with different open reading frames. Both transcripts have been analyzed. We report either the variant with the higher classification or default to the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) variant. This report therefore includes the details for the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) variant. This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 125 of the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) protein (p.Asp125His). This variant is present in population databases (rs146179135, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with melanoma and/or pancreatic cancer (PMID: 10398427, 12072543, 17218939, 19320745, 25780468, 26483394). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41577). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The histidine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect 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. -
