This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.2740G>A (NM_006218.4) variant in PIK3CA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of (p.Gly914Arg). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). PIK3CA, in which the variant was identified, is defined by the ClinGen Brain Malformations Expert Panel as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (PP2). This variant resides within the kinase domain of PIK3CA that is defined as a critical functional domain by the ClinGen BMEP (PMIDs: 26637981, 24459181, 27631024) (PM1_Supporting). The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls (PS4; identified in 5 individuals with a clinical diagnosis of megalencephaly-polymicrogyria-polydactyly-hydrocephalus syndrome; (MPPH) or megalencephaly-capillary malformation-polymicrogyria syndrome; (MCAP), and in 4 individuals with segmental overgrowth or vascular malformation of a limb or region of the body, it has been shown to significantly increase phosphorylation levels in patient cell lines (PMID:22729224), and it was identified in 2 tumor samples in COSMIC (PMID:22729224, PMID:28151489, PMID:28502725, PMID:30231930). This variant has been confirmed de novo and has been identified with variable allelic fractions consistent with a post-zygotic event (PS2_Strong; PMID:22729224). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for mosaic autosomal dominant overgrowth with or without cerebral malformations due to abnormalities in MTOR-pathway genes based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Brain Malformations Expert Panel: PM2_P, PP2, PM1_P, PS4, PS2; 11 points (VCEP specifications version 1; Approved: 1/31/2021) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA130467/MONDO:0016054/018

not provided Pathogenic:4
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22729224, 24939587, 25106414, 23592320, 27631024, 28151489, 28737257, 29346770, 30231930, 32608066, 32595695, 33942430, 33415748, 32778138, 33604570, 34066481, 34097172, 31677919, 33105631, 31729162, 32042194, 33077954, 27535533) -

PIK3CA related overgrowth syndrome Pathogenic:3
- -
This is a recurrent pathogenic variant that has been described in several individuals with PIK3CA-related overgrowth syndromes (PROS) (PMID: 22729224, PMID: 27631024, PMID: 28151489, PMID: 30231930, and others). The p.Gly914Arg variant substitutes the glycine at codon 914 with arginine within the PI3K/PI4K kinase domain of the PIK3CA protein (UniProt P42336). This variant has not been observed in large population studies (gnomAD v4.1.0). -
The PIK3CA c.2740G>A (p.Gly914Arg) variant was identified at an allelic fraction consistent with somatic origin. This variant has been reported in numerous individuals affected with PROS disorders (Maguolo A et al., PMID: 30231930; Mills JR et al., PMID: 28737257; Park HJ et al., PMID: 32778138; McNulty SN et al., PMID: 31585106) and in multiple cases in the cancer database COSMIC (Genomic Mutation ID: COSV55930478). It has been reported in the ClinVar database as pathogenic/likely pathogenic in both a somatic and a germline state by several submitters including an expert panel (ClinVar Variation ID: 39703) This variant is absent from the general population (gnomAD v4.1.0), indicating it is not a common variant. The PIK3CA c.2740G>A (p.Gly914Arg) variant resides within the kinase domain of PIK3CA that is defined as a critical functional domain (Zhao L et al., PMID: 18268322; Samuels Y et al., PMID: 15016963; Lai et al., PMID: 35997716). Computational predictors indicate that the variant is damaging, evidence that correlates with impact to PIK3CA function. In support of this prediction, functional studies have shown this variant to cause a significant increase in the phosphorylation levels in a patient cell line (Rivière JB et al., PMID: 22729224). The PIK3CA gene is defined by ClinGen's Brain Malformation expert panel as a gene with a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common disease mechanism (Lai et al, PMID: 35997716). Based on available information and an internally developed protocol informed by the ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation and gene-specific practices from the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry (Leon-Quintero FZ et al., PMID: 39434542), the PIK3CA c.2740G>A (p.Gly914Arg) variant is classified as pathogenic. -
PIK3CA-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The PIK3CA c.2740G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly914Arg. This variant has been identified as de novo (apparently constitutional and mosaic) in multiple individuals with PIK3CA-related overgrowth disorders and polymicrogyria (see for example, Rivière et al. 2012. PubMedID: 22729224, Table 4, Mirzaa. 2016. PubMed ID: 27631024; Table 1, Stutterd. 2021. PubMed ID: 33604570; PreventionGenetics, internal data). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating it is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/39703/). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
The c.2740G>A (p.G914R) alteration is located in exon 19 (coding exon 18) of the PIK3CA gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2740, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 914 to be replaced by an arginine (R). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration was reported as a de novo occurrence and heterozygous in multiple individuals with megalencephaly, overgrowth, vascular malformations and/or other clinical features consistent with PIK3CA-related disorders; this variant was detected in multiple sample types for some individuals (Rivière, 2012; Mirzaa, 2016; DECIPHER). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek, 2016; Firth, 2009). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

Cowden syndrome Pathogenic:1
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 39703). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) (PMID: 22729224, 27631024, 30231930, 32595695). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 914 of the PIK3CA protein (p.Gly914Arg). -
