not provided Uncertain:1
This variant is denoted CDKN2A c.326C>A at the cDNA level and p.Ala109Asp (A109D) at the protein level using the primary, p16, transcript. The CDKN2A open reading frame encodes for at least two proteins; p16 and p14-ARF, the later expressed mainly under elevated mitogenic stimulation. This C>A substitution results in the change of an Alanine to an Aspartic Acid (GCC>GAC) in the p16 protein while in the p14-ARF protein it results in a nonsense variant, denoted as c.369C>A and p.Cys123Ter, which changes a Cysteine to a premature stop codon (TGT>TGA) causing the loss of the last 10 amino acids.CDKN2A Ala109Asp, in the p16 protein, has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. This variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Alanine and Aspartic Acid differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. CDKN2A Ala109Asp occurs at a position that is not conserved and is not located in a known functional domain (UniProt). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. CDKN2A Cys123Ter, in the p14-ARF protein, is predicted to cause loss of normal function through protein truncation; however, the protein is not expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. Therefore the resultant protein may retain some normal function. In summary, based on currently available evidence, both the amino acid substitution in the p16 protein, Ala109Asp, and the nonsense change in the p14-ARF protein, Cys123Ter, are considered variants of uncertain significance. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
The p.A109D variant (also known as c.326C>A), located in coding exon 2 of the CDKN2A gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 326. The alanine at codon 109 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration performed similar to wild type in a cell cycle arrest assay (Miller PJ et al. Hum. Mutat., 2011 Aug;32:900-11). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Familial melanoma Uncertain:1
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 alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 109 of the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) protein (p.Ala109Asp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CDKN2A (p16INK4a)-related conditions. This variant is also known as c.369C>A (p.Cys123*) in the CDKN2A (p14ARF) transcript. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 420995). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect CDKN2A (p16INK4a) function (PMID: 12606942). 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. -
