This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000546.6: c.488A>G variant in TP53 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of tyrosine by cysteine at amino acid 163 (p.Tyr163Cys). This variant has been identified as a de novo occurrence with confirmed parental relationships in 1 individual with a strongly-associated LFS-associated cancer totaling 4 phenotype points (PS2; PMID:19556618). This variant has been reported in 2 additional unrelated families meeting Revised Chompret criteria. Based on this evidence, this variant scores 1 total point meeting the TP53 VCEP phenotype scoring criteria of 1-1.5 points. (PS4_Supporting; PMIDs 21601526, 8164043). At least two individuals with this variant were found to have a variant allele fraction of 5-25%, which is a significant predictor of variant pathogenicity (PP4_Moderate, PMID:34906512, Internal lab contributor: SCV000581096.5). This variant has an allele frequency of 6.196e-7 (1/1613972 alleles) across gnomAD v4.1.0 which is lower than the Clingen TP53 VCEP threshold (<0.00003) for PM2_Supporting, and therefore meets this criterion (PM2_Supporting). In vitro assays performed in yeast and human cell lines showed non-functional transactivation and loss of growth suppression activity indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PS3; PMIDs: 12826609, 30224644, 29979965). This variant has 54 somatic occurrences for the same amino acid change in cancerhotspots.org (v2) sufficient to be defined as a mutational hotspot by the Clingen TP53 VCEP (≥ 10 somatic occurrences) (PM1, PMID:30311369). Computational predictor scores (BayesDel = 0.54; Align GVGD = Class C65) are above recommended thresholds (BayesDel > 0.16 and an Align GVGD Class of 65), evidence that correlates with impact to TP53 via protein change (PP3_Moderate). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for Li Fraumeni Syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen TP53 VCEP: PS2, PS4_Supporting, PP4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PS3, PM1, PP3_Moderate.

Genes affected
TP53 (HGNC:11998): (tumor protein p53) This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein containing transcriptional activation, DNA binding, and oligomerization domains. The encoded protein responds to diverse cellular stresses to regulate expression of target genes, thereby inducing cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, senescence, DNA repair, or changes in metabolism. Mutations in this gene are associated with a variety of human cancers, including hereditary cancers such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Alternative splicing of this gene and the use of alternate promoters result in multiple transcript variants and isoforms. Additional isoforms have also been shown to result from the use of alternate translation initiation codons from identical transcript variants (PMIDs: 12032546, 20937277).

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 163 of the TP53 protein (p.Tyr163Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of TP53-related conditions (PMID: 8164043, 11051239, 18685109, 19556618, 25584008, 25757876). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127814). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (PMID: 12826609, 29979965, 30224644) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TP53 function with a positive predictive value of 97.5%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TP53 function (PMID: 12826609, 16861262, 21343334, 29979965, 30224644). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

The NM_000546.6: c.488A>G variant in TP53 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of tyrosine by cysteine at amino acid 163 (p.Tyr163Cys). This variant has been identified as a de novo occurrence with confirmed parental relationships in 1 individual with a strongly-associated LFS-associated cancer totaling 4 phenotype points (PS2; PMID: 19556618). This variant has been reported in 2 additional unrelated families meeting Revised Chompret criteria. Based on this evidence, this variant scores 1 total point meeting the TP53 VCEP phenotype scoring criteria of 1-1.5 points. (PS4_Supporting; PMIDs 21601526, 8164043). At least two individuals with this variant were found to have a variant allele fraction of 5-25%, which is a significant predictor of variant pathogenicity (PP4_Moderate, PMID: 34906512, Internal lab contributor: SCV000581096.5). This variant has an allele frequency of 6.196e-7 (1/1613972 alleles) across gnomAD v4.1.0 which is lower than the Clingen TP53 VCEP threshold (<0.00003) for PM2_Supporting, and therefore meets this criterion (PM2_Supporting). In vitro assays performed in yeast and human cell lines showed non-functional transactivation and loss of growth suppression activity indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PS3; PMIDs: 12826609, 30224644, 29979965). This variant has 54 somatic occurrences for the same amino acid change in cancerhotspots.org (v2) sufficient to be defined as a mutational hotspot by the Clingen TP53 VCEP (≥ 10 somatic occurrences) (PM1, PMID: 30311369). Computational predictor scores (BayesDel = 0.54; Align GVGD = Class C65) are above recommended thresholds (BayesDel > 0.16 and an Align GVGD Class of 65), evidence that correlates with impact to TP53 via protein change (PP3_Moderate). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for Li Fraumeni Syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen TP53 VCEP: PS2, PS4_Supporting, PP4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PS3, PM1, PP3_Moderate.

The p.Y163C variant (also known as c.488A>G), located in coding exon 4 of the TP53 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 488. The tyrosine at codon 163 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. The p.Y163C variant has been observed as a germline alteration a patient with early-onset osteosarcoma and a family history of central nervous system malignancies (McIntyre JF et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 1994 May;12(5):925-30). In addition, this alteration was observed in an individual from a LFS family who was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma at the age of 2.5 years and an anaplastic astrocytoma at the age of 14 (Villani et. al. Lancet Oncology. 2011;12:559). This alteration has also been reported in one Chinese patient diagnosed with sporadic triple negative breast cancer (Yi D et al. Hum. Genomics. 2019 01;13:4) This alteration is located in the functionally critical DNA binding domain of the p53 protein. In multiple yeast-based functional studies, this alteration has been shown to be devoid of transactivation capability and demonstrate dominant negative properties (Chappuis PO et al. Int. J. Cancer 1999 Dec;84(6):587-93; Kato S et al.Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2003 Jul 8;100(14):8424-9; Dearth LR et al. Carcinogenesis 2007 Feb;28(2):289-98; Monti P et al. Mol. Cancer Res. 2011 Mar;9(3):271-9). Studies conducted in human cell lines indicate this alteration is deficient at growth suppression and has a dominant negative effect (Kotler E et al. Mol.Cell. 2018 Jul;71:178-190.e8; Giacomelli AO et al. Nat. Genet. 2018 Oct;50:1381-1387). This alteration has been observed numerous times as a somatic mutation in the cancerhotspots.org database (Chang MT et al. Cancer Discov. 2018 02;8:174-183). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
