Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Strong

The NM_006218.4(PIK3CA):​c.1193G>C​(p.Arg398Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000685 in 1,460,094 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R398H) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

PIK3CA (HGNC:8975): (phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha) Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase is composed of an 85 kDa regulatory subunit and a 110 kDa catalytic subunit. The protein encoded by this gene represents the catalytic subunit, which uses ATP to phosphorylate PtdIns, PtdIns4P and PtdIns(4,5)P2. This gene has been found to be oncogenic and has been implicated in cervical cancers. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain C2 PI3K-type (size 157) in uniprot entity PK3CA_HUMAN there are 21 pathogenic changes around while only 2 benign (91%) in NM_006218.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the PIK3CA gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 98 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 13 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 5.5986 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 6.1406 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to megalencephaly-capillary malformation-polymicrogyria syndrome, vascular malformation, Cowden syndrome 5, overgrowth syndrome and/or cerebral malformations due to abnormalities in MTOR pathway genes, Cowden disease, hereditary breast carcinoma, familial ovarian cancer.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.964

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R398P variant (also known as c.1193G>C), located in coding exon 6 of the PIK3CA gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1193. The arginine at codon 398 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 398 of the PIK3CA protein (p.Arg398Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PIK3CA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1745488). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on PIK3CA protein function. 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. -
