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]

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 23 of the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) protein (p.Gly23Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with melanoma (PMID: 12001124, 21462282; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429109). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CDKN2A (p16INK4a) function (PMID: 24659262). This variant disrupts the p.Gly23 amino acid residue in CDKN2A (p16INK4a). Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9425228, 17992122, 19260062, 19712690, 20340136, 21462282, 24659262). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: CDKN2A c.67G>T (p.Gly23Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 235382 control chromosomes. c.67G>T has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with multiple primary melanoma (e.g., Blackwood_2012, Miller_2011). At least one publication reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated that this variant results in increased cellular proliferation, indicating a loss of p16 (INK4A) function (e.g., Scaini_2014). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 12001124, 21462282, 24659262). Three submitters have reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014; two submitters classified the variant as likely pathogenic and one submitter classified the variant as uncertain significance. Additionally, several other different missense variants affecting the same codon, including p.Gly23Arg, p.Gly23Ser, and p.Gly23Asp, have been reported in affected individuals (PMIDs: 17992122, 9425228, 32482799) and experimental studies suggest that several of these missense variants disupt protein function (PMID: 24659262). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

The p.G23C variant (also known as c.67G>T), located in coding exon 1 of the CDKN2A gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 67. The glycine at codon 23 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant has been detected in multiple individuals with personal and family histories of melanoma (Blackwood MA et al. Cancer 2002 Apr; 94(8):2248-55; Ambry internal data). This variant is predicted to be likely deleterious using a combination of in silico analyses and results of a proliferation assay consistent with loss of protein function (Scaini MC et al. Hum. Mutat. 2014 Jul;35(7):828-40). In addition, structural analysis predicts that the p.G23C variant results in severe perturbation of the protein, likely resulting in misfolding and loss of binding (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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 majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
