Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
The p.A85T variant (also known as c.253G>A), located in coding exon 2 of the CDKN2A gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 253. The alanine at codon 85 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. One study reported this alteration in an individual with a personal history of melanoma and familial melanoma; however this alteration was not present in the patient's brother, who is also affected with melanoma, leading authors to conclude it was a polymorphism (FitzGerald MG et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 1996 Aug;93:8541-5). This alteration has also been reported in a patient with pathologically confirmed diagnosis of both invasive breast cancer at age 46 and cutaneous melanoma at age 54 (Nagore E et al. Melanoma Res., 2009 Aug;19:211-4) and in a Swedish melanoma family reported to have 3 cases of melanoma, the youngest diagnosed at the age of 45 (Pissa M et al. Acta Oncol. 2021 Jul;60(7):888-896). This alteration has been observed in at least one individual with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with CDKN2A-related disease, but has also been found in unaffected individuals (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
This missense variant replaces alanine with threonine at codon 85 of the CDKN2A (p16INK4A) protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with cutaneous melanoma and breast cancer (PMID: 19571771). This variant has also been reported in a homozygous individual affected with melanoma, however, it was absent in the proband's affected brother (PMID: 8710906). This variant has been identified in 2/231476 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

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 threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 85 of the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) protein (p.Ala85Thr). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with melanoma, however, the variant was not present in the brother who was also affected, which suggests that this variant may not be disease-causing (PMID: 8710906). This variant has also been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer and cutaneous melanoma (PMID: 19571771). This variant is also known as c.296G>A (p.Arg99His) in the CDKN2A (p14ARF) transcript. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 236983). 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 disruptive. 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. -
