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 alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Variant summary: CDKN2A c.197A>G (p.His66Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Ankyrin repeat-containing domain of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00021 in 216546 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0011 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 3.67 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in CDKN2A causing Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma phenotype (0.0003). c.197A>G has been reported in the literature in several individuals with various tumor phenotypes, found as both germline and somatic occurrences (Ohnishi_1995, Morita_1998, Yonghao_1999, Hayano_2016, Fujita_1997, Ji_2015, Kim_2014, Takenaka_2015, Hwang_2017, Lee_2017, Jiang_2018, Onidani_2019), however these patients were exclusively of East Asian origin. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27701467, 9133447, 26295973, 9856796, 7632931, 25846456, 12894891, 26474073, 28521409, 28599463, 25372287, 27756164, 27960642, 28765326, 9166859, 16818274, 18519632, 7718873, 29642553, 31169336). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 246117). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
