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]

Variant summary: CDKN2A (p16INK4a) c.370C>T (p.Arg124Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.5e-05 in 1610132 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CDKN2A causing cutaneous malignant melanoma (4.5e-05 vs 0.0003), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.370C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with cutaneous malignant melanoma without strong evidence for causality (e.g. Begg_2005, Miller_2011, Harland_2014, Helgadottir_2020 and Spagnolo_2021). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. Using a cell proliferation assay authors showed no damaging effect of this variant (example: Kimura_2022). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16234564, 21462282, 25780468, 30291219, 35001868, 34069952). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231362). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

The CDKN2A p.R124C variant was identified in multiple individuals with melanoma (Harland_2014_PMID: 25780468; Burgstaller-Muehlbacher_2015_PMID: 26225579; Orlow_2007_PMID: 17218939; Begg_2005_PMID: 16234564). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs34170727), COSMIC (tissue distribution: skin), and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Counsyl, GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, and Invitae; and as likely benign by Color). The variant was identified in control databases in 30 of 243546 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001232, and was observed at the highest frequency in the South Asian population in 22 of 30554 chromosomes (freq: 0.0007200) (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The p.R124 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (MUT Assesor, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, MutationTaster, Revel, FATHMM, MetaLR, DANN) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (Splice AI exome) do not predict a deleterious effect on splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

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. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 124 of the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) protein (p.Arg124Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs34170727, gnomAD 0.07%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with melanoma (PMID: 16234564, 17218939, 21462282, 25780468, 26225579, 34069952). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231362). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The cysteine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect CDKN2A (p16INK4a) function (PMID: 35001868). 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. -
