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).

The p.D281V pathogenic mutation (also known as c.842A>T), located in coding exon 7 of the TP53 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 842. The aspartic acid at codon 281 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant was first described in an 18 year old individual diagnosed with an osteosarcoma (Chompret A, Br. J. Cancer 2000 Jun; 82(12):1932-7). 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 variant is in the DNA binding domain of the TP53 protein and is reported to have non-functional transactivation in yeast based assays (Kato S et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 2003 Jul;100:8424-9). Other variant(s) at the same codon, p.D281E (c.843C>G), p.D281G (c.842A>G), have been identified in individual(s) with features consistent with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (Ambry internal data). This variant was detected in at least one individual at an allele fraction that is suggestive of clonal hematopoiesis, a predictor of TP53 pathogenicity (Ambry internal data; Fortuno C et al. Genet Med. 2022 03;24:673-680). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Asp281 amino acid residue in TP53. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15925506, 17390010, 17572079, 21305319, 23894400, 25293557). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TP53 function (PMID: 12826609). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 12826609, 29979965, 30224644) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TP53 function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182968). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with osteosarcoma (PMID: 10864200). 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 aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 281 of the TP53 protein (p.Asp281Val).

A pathogenic missense pathogenic variant displaying apparent mosaicism was detected, meaning the variant was detected in some, but not all, cells. This is a missense pathogenic variant, denoted TP53 c.842A>T at the cDNA level, p.Asp281Val (D281V) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Aspartic Acid to a Valine (GAC>GTC). This variant was observed in a patient with childhood osteosarcoma who had a family history of early-onset breast cancer (Chompret 2000). Three separate yeast based functional assays concluded that TP53 Asp281Val results in a transactivation-defective mutant phenotype while two additional functional assays, also yeast based, concluded that this mutation has a dominant negative effect and is unable to induce apoptosis (Monti 2007, Monti 2011, Pekova 2011). TP53 Asp281Val was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Aspartic Acid and Valine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. TP53 Asp281Val occurs at a position that is highly conserved across species and is located within the DNA binding region and the regions of interaction with HIPK1, ZNF385A, FBXO42 and E4F1. In addition, In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on the current evidence, we consider this variant to be pathogenic. This mutation appears to be mosaic, as the mutant allele was present but underrepresented in comparison to the normal allele. This result was confirmed using alternate, non-overlapping primers, making it unlikely that this result is due to preferential amplification of the normal allele. Therefore, this mutation is interpreted to be present in some, but not all, cells in this peripheral blood specimen. Neither Sanger nor Next Generation sequencing is a quantitative test; thus, it is not possible to determine more precisely the level of mosaicism in this specimen. Moreover, the level of mosaicism may be different in other tissues. As somatic mosaicism generally results from a post-zygotic event, parents and siblings are not likely at risk to carry this mosaic mutation. Germline mosaicism and transmission to the offspring of this patient, however, cannot be excluded. The following lifetime risks apply to individuals with germline TP53 mutations, and might be overestimates for individuals who are mosaic. A pathogenic variant in this gene is indicative of Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), an autosomal dominant condition associated with a high risk for a broad range of childhood- and adult-onset cancers. The following core cancer types account for 70%-77% of LFS-associated tumors (in order of frequency): breast cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, brain tumors, osteosarcoma, and adrenocortical carcinoma (Gonzalez 2009, Olivier 2003, Ruijs 2010). Other types of cancer that have been reported to be associated with LFS include ovarian, gastrointestinal, pancreatic, genitourinary, skin, thyroid and lung cancers as well as leukemia, lymphoma, and neuroblastomas. Age-related and sex-specific cancer risks have been reported. According to one study, the overall risks for males with LFS to develop cancer by ages 16, 45, and 85 are estimated to be 19%, 41%, and 73%, respectively, whereas the risks for females are estimated to be 12%, 84%, and 100%, respectively (Chompret 2000). The higher penetrance in females is due to the high incidence of breast cancer, accounting for 80% of the cancers in the age group of 16 to 45 years (Chompret 2000). The majority of LFS-associated breast cancers are HER2/neu positive ductal carcinomas (Melhem-Bertrandt 2012). The most common types of sarcomas in LFS are rhabdomyosarcomas before age 5 and osteosarcomas at any age (Ognjanovic 2012). LFS is associated with many types of brain tumors including astrocytomas, gl
