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]

The c.106delG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 1 of the CDKN2A gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 106, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.A36Rfs*17). This variant was identified in a family meeting clinical criteria for melanoma-pancreatic cancer syndrome. Specifically, the proband was affected with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and cutaneous melanoma at 48 and 43 years old, respectively (Cabanillas R et al. Head Neck, 2013 Mar;35:E80-4). Multiple other affected individuals of Spanish ancestry have also tested positive for this mutation (Potrony M et al. J Am Acad Dermatol, 2014 Nov;71:888-95; Puig S et al. Genet Med, 2016 Jul;18:727-36). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 1 of the CDKN2A (p16INK4A) gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of CDKN2A function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
