Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -5 ACMG points: 2P and 7B. PM1BP4_ModerateBS1_SupportingBS2

The NM_000077.5(CDKN2A):​c.160A>C​(p.Met54Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000688 in 1,597,750 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Uncertain significance in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. M54I) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

The CDKN2A (p16 ARF) c.160A>C (p.Met54Leu) variant has been reported in an individual with breast cancer (PMID: 35264596 (2022)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00017 (8/47688 chromosomes in Latino/Admixed American subpopulation, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (URL: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar, Variation ID: 463486). Analysis of this p16 variant using bioinformatics tools (e.g. MutationTaster and PolyPhen-2) 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. In the alternate reading frame of the CDKN2A (p14) gene, this variant is known as c.203A>C (p.Asp68Ala). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with CDKN2A related disease in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population 0.00017 (8/47688 chromosomes in Latino/Admixed American subpopulation, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Analysis of this p14 variant using bioinformatics tools (e.g. MutationTaster and PolyPhen-2) for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: may impact protein folding (PMID: 12517341); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 12517341, 35264596, 35446184)

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The CDKN2A locus encodes two different gene products, p16INK4a and p14ARF (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7030/). This missense variant replaces methionine with leucine at codon 54 of the CDKN2A (p16INK4A) protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 35264596). This variant has been identified in 1/221122 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.

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

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 methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 54 of the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) protein (p.Met54Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs201314211, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CDKN2A (p16INK4a)-related conditions. This variant is also known as c.203A>C (p.Asp68Ala) in the CDKN2A (p14ARF) transcript. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 463486). 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. 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.
