Genes affected
PPM1D (HGNC:9277): (protein phosphatase, Mg2+/Mn2+ dependent 1D) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the PP2C family of Ser/Thr protein phosphatases. PP2C family members are known to be negative regulators of cell stress response pathways. The expression of this gene is induced in a p53-dependent manner in response to various environmental stresses. While being induced by tumor suppressor protein TP53/p53, this phosphatase negatively regulates the activity of p38 MAP kinase, MAPK/p38, through which it reduces the phosphorylation of p53, and in turn suppresses p53-mediated transcription and apoptosis. This phosphatase thus mediates a feedback regulation of p38-p53 signaling that contributes to growth inhibition and the suppression of stress induced apoptosis. This gene is located in a chromosomal region known to be amplified in breast cancer. The amplification of this gene has been detected in both breast cancer cell line and primary breast tumors, which suggests a role of this gene in cancer development. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu546Argfs*2) in the PPM1D gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 60 amino acid(s) of the PPM1D protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PPM1D-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 521766). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
