Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000546.6(TP53):c.714T>G(p.Cys238Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C238S) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome    Pathogenic:1 
The cysteine residue at codon 238 is known to bind Zn2+ and to stabilize the structure of the TP53 DNA binding domain (PMID: 8023157). Furthermore, other amino acid substitutions at this codon have been reported in affected patients, namely Cys238Tyr and Cys238Ser. These sequence changes have also been described as severe deficiency alleles (PMID: 12826609, 21343334). This indicates that the cysteine 238 may be critical for proper protein function. This variant is not been reported in any individual in population databases (rs193920789, no frequency) and has not been reported in any affected individual in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 161515). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change is a severe deficiency allele, resulting in significantly decreased transactivation activity of TP53, and that it may act in a dominant negative fashion, reducing the transactivation activity of the wild-type allele (PMID: 12826609, 21343334). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change replaces cysteine with tryptophan at codon 238 of the TP53 protein (p.Cys238Trp). The cysteine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and tryptophan. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Pathogenic:1 
The p.C238W variant (also known as c.714T>G), located in coding exon 6 of the TP53 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 714. The cysteine at codon 238 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant is in the DNA binding domain of the TP53 protein and is reported to have non-functional transactivation in yeast based assays (Kato S et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 2003 Jul;100:8424-9). Studies conducted in human cell lines indicate this alteration is deficient at growth suppression ([Kotler E et al. Mol.Cell. 2018 Jul;71:178-190.e8;] Giacomelli AO et al. Nat. Genet. 2018 Oct;50:1381-1387). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by BayesDel in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
