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]
CDKN2B-AS1 (HGNC:34341): (CDKN2B antisense RNA 1) This gene is located within the CDKN2B-CDKN2A gene cluster at chromosome 9p21. The gene product is a functional RNA molecule that interacts with polycomb repressive complex-1 (PRC1) and -2 (PRC2), leading to epigenetic silencing of other genes in this cluster. This region is a significant genetic susceptibility locus for cardiovascular disease, and has also been linked to a number of other pathologies, including several cancers, intracranial aneurysm, type-2 diabetes, periodontitis, Alzheimer's disease, endometriosis, frailty in the elderly, and glaucoma. Multiple alternatively processed transcript variants have been detected, some of which may take the form of circular RNA molecules (PMID:21151960). [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 20, 2015This variant is denoted CDKN2A c.94G>A at the cDNA level, p.Gly32Arg (G32R) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glycine to an Arginine (GGG>AGG) of the p14-ARF protein. Of note, the CDKN2A gene encodes the p16 protein and, using an alternate reading frame, the p14-ARF protein as well. As these two proteins are encoded by different first exons, CDKN2A Gly32Arg will not affect the p16 protein. This variant has been observed in a family with multiple melanomas (Potrony 2014). CDKN2A Gly32Arg was not observed in approximately 6,300 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Glycine and Arginine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. CDKN2A Gly32Arg occurs at a position that is not conserved across species and is located in the region of interaction with CDK5RAP3 and MDM2 (UniProt). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether CDKN2A Gly32Arg is pathogenic or a benign variant. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 06, 2023The p.G32R variant (also known as c.94G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the CDKN2A (p14ARF) gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 94. The glycine at codon 32 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was identified in at least one Spanish individual with multiple melanomas (Potrony M et al. JAMA Dermatol, 2016 Apr;152:405-12; Potrony M et al. J. Am. Acad. Dermatol., 2014 Nov;71:888-9; Puig S et al. Genet. Med., 2016 07;18:727-36). In addition, the individual identified in Potrony et al. (2016) with CDKN2A p.G32R also carried the p.E318K alteration in MITF. Based on data from gnomAD, the frequency for this variant is above the maximum credible frequency for a disease-causing variant in this gene based on internally established thresholds (Karczewski et al. Nature. 2020 May;581(7809):434-443; Whiffin et al. Genet Med. 2017 10;19:1151-1158). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species, and arginine is the reference amino acid in other vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is conflicting at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Familial melanoma Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 08, 2021This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 32 of the CDKN2A (p14ARF) protein (p.Gly32Arg). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with sporadic multiple primary melanomas (PMID: 25064638, 26650189). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 246004). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest 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. -
