Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000546.6(TP53):c.713G>T(p.Cys238Phe) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,694 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C238S) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome Pathogenic:2
Variant summary: TP53 c.713G>T (p.Cys238Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA-binding domain (IPR011615), affecting a Zn2+ binding site (UniProt) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251474 control chromosomes. c.713G>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TP53-related conditions (e.g., Schwartz_2021, Patel_1995, Kim_2018). Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, classifying the protein variant as non-functional in a transactivation assay and finding the variant displayed <1% transcriptional activity in yeast (e.g., Jordan_2010, Giacomelli_2018, Kotler_2018). Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) have cited the variant, and all laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Additionally, missense variants impacting the same amino acid residue, C238, have been reported as pathogenic in ClinVar and associated with Li-Fraumeni in HGMD (e.g., p.C238R, p.C238G, p.C238S, p.C238Y, p.C238W). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 238 of the TP53 protein (p.Cys238Phe). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of TP53-related conditions (PMID: 16337994, 20407015, 20878954, 21115975, 24590827, 26781615, 27179933). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 376574). 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 with a positive predictive value of 97.5%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TP53 function (PMID: 12826609, 20407015, 25504633, 25634208, 25691460, 29979965, 30224644). This variant disrupts the p.Cys238 amino acid residue in TP53. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12826609, 20407015). 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. -
Li-Fraumeni syndrome 1 Pathogenic:1
This variant is considered likely pathogenic. Functional studies indicate this variant impacts protein function [PMID: 25691460, 7791795]. This variant is expected to disrupt protein structure [Myriad internal data]. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The p.C238F pathogenic mutation (also known as c.713G>T), located in coding exon 6 of the TP53 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 713. The cysteine at codon 238 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. 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). 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). Multiple other alterations at the same codon, p.C238Y, p.C238S, p.C238R and p.C238G, have been been detected in families meeting LFS criteria (Balmaña J, Med Clin (Barc) 2002 Oct; 119(13):497-9; Krutilkova V et al. Eur J Cancer, 2005 Jul;41:1597-603;Monti P et al. Mol. Cancer Res. 2011 Mar;9(3):271-9); Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
