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.47_50delTGGC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 1 of the CDKN2A gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 47 to 50, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L16Pfs*9). This pathogenic mutation has been reported in an individual diagnosed with multiple primary melanomas beginning at age 40 and whose father had pancreatic cancer (Wadt KA et al. PLoS ONE. 2015 Mar;10:e0122662). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu16Profs*9) in the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CDKN2A (p16INK4a) are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15146471, 16905682). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with multiple primary melanomas (PMID: 25803691). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142061). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
