Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | May 30, 2024 | The p.R181C variant (also known as c.541C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the TP53 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 541. The arginine at codon 181 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been identified in one individual diagnosed with breast cancer at age 33 and melanotic spindle cell carcinoma of the mediastinum at age 35 and in another individual with rhabdomyosarcoma, adrenal cortical carcinoma, and osteosarcoma (Sidransky D et al. Cancer Res. 1992;15;52(10):2984-6; Villani A et al. Lancet Oncol. 2016 Sep;17(9):1295-305). In addition, one study found this alteration in six family members ranging in age from 16 to 60; however, only two of them were affected with cancer (Wang PY et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2013;368(11):1027-32). This alteration has more recently been reported in several families that have multiple early-onset cancers but do not meet Li-Fraumeni syndrome criteria, although some met Chrompret criteria, leading the authors to suggest this is a pathogenic mutation with an attenuated phenotype (Zick A et al. Fam. Cancer. 2017 Apr;16:295-301; Lolas Hamameh S et al. Int. J. Cancer. 2017 Aug;141:750-756). Yeast based functional studies have shown this alteration to have significantly reduced transactivation capacity compared to wild type, as well as dominant negative properties with several response elements (Monti P et al. Mol Cancer Res. 2011;9(3):271-9; IARC TP53 database; Kato S et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2003;8;100(14):8424-9). However, this alteration showed DNA binding activity similar to wild type (Malcikova J et al. Biol. Chem.;391:197-205), and was proficient at growth suppression in human cells (Kotler E et al. Mol. Cell, 2018 Jul;71:178-190.e8; Giacomelli AO et al. Nat. Genet. 2018 Oct;50:1381-1387). A different alteration which occurs at the same codon, p.R181H (c.542G>A) has been seen in individuals with breast cancer and Li-Fraumeni syndrome (Heymann S et al. Radiat Oncol. 2010;5:10; Børresen AL et al. Cancer Res. 1992;52(11):3234-6). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on current evidence, p.R181C is interpreted as a likely pathogenic moderate risk allele that may not be associated with classic LFS. Clinical correlation is advised. - |
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health | Jan 09, 2023 | This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 181 in the DNA binding domain of the TP53 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies are inconsistent about the variant impact on TP53 protein function. While some studies have shown that the mutant protein shows partial reduction of transactivation activity (IARC database and PMID: 12826609) and normal function in human cell growth suppression assays (PMID: 29979965, 30224644), other studies have shown that this variant partially or fully impairs transcriptional transactivation activity, DNA binding activity, and apoptotic activity of the TP53 protein (PMID: 10229196, 12917626, 17606709, 20128691, 20471942, 21343334). Transgenic mice homozygous for a homolog of this variant showed a slight increase in tumorigenesis (PMID: 31968253). This variant has been reported in multiple individuals suspected of having Li-Fraumeni syndrome or affected with Li-Fraumeni syndrome-associated tumors (PMID: 17606709, 27501770, 27866339, 35033608), including an adult affected with glioblastoma multiform at 70 years old (PMID: 27866339) and a child affected with rhabdomyosarcoma, adrenocortical carcinoma and osteosarcoma, who died at age 3 years old (PMID: 27501770). This variant has been reported in over 15 individuals affected with breast cancer, most of whom showed early-onset with family history of breast cancer or other Li-Fraumeni syndrome-associated tumors (PMID: 1581912, 27866339, 28486781, 31119730, 33471991). Among the reported breast cancer-affected females, four of them showed age of onset prior to age 31 years old (PMID: 27866339, 28486781). This variant has been shown to segregate with breast cancer in six individuals from two families of Arab ancestry, where incomplete penetrance was observed (PMID: 28486781). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant p.Arg181His occurring at the same codon is known to be pathogenic, based on the observation in multiple individuals affected with Li-Fraumeni syndrome-associated tumors, who showed strong family history (Clinvar variation ID: 142320). This indicates that arginine at the codon 181 position is important for TP53 protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant may be hypomorphic and may display reduced penetrance relative to typical pathogenic TP53 variants. - |
Li-Fraumeni syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Invitae | Oct 03, 2023 | This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 181 of the TP53 protein (p.Arg181Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Li-Fraumeni like syndrome or individual(s) who meet Chrompret criteria (PMID: 1581912, 17606709, 23484829, 27501770, 27866339, 28486781). This variant has not been observed in individual(s) with Li-Fraumeni syndrome. It is commonly reported in individuals of Arab ancestry (PMID: 27866339, 28486781). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142624). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TP53 function (PMID: 11896595, 12826609, 12917626, 17606709, 20471942, 21343334). This variant disrupts the p.Arg181 amino acid residue in TP53. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1591732, 11429705, 20128691, 21059199, 21343334, 23175693). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | research | King Laboratory, University of Washington | May 06, 2024 | TP53 p.R181C (c.641C>T) was identified in 25 breast cancer patients of Palestinian ancestry. The variant co-segregates with breast cancer in their families, with a lifetime risk to heterozygous females of 81% (s.e. 9%) (PMID: 28486781). Only one of the 25 families fulfilled criteria for Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Across all 25 families, pediatric cancers (diagnosed by age 20y) were not more frequent among first degree relatives of p.R181C-heterozygous breast cancer patients compared to first degree relatives of unrelated age-matched Palestinian breast cancer patients with no pathogenic variant (RR = 0.90, 95% CI [0.23, 3.49]; in-house data). Based on current evidence, p.R181C is interpreted as pathogenic but with risk limited to breast cancer - |
