Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3

The NM_000546.6(TP53):c.710T>G(p.Met237Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. M237I) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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).

Submissions by phenotype

Li-Fraumeni syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 04, 2022This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 237 of the TP53 protein (p.Met237Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect TP53 function (PMID: 7651740, 9635828, 16861262, 29979965). Advanced modeling of experimental studies (such as gene expression, population dynamics, functional pathways, and cell-cycle effects in cell culture) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TP53 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 419524). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TP53-related conditions. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJul 29, 2015This variant is denoted TP53 c.710T>G at the cDNA level, p.Met237Arg (M237R) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Methionine to an Arginine (ATG>AGG). While this variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as either a germline pathogenic variant or benign polymorphism, TP53 Met237Arg has been reported as a somatic variant in hematologic, pancreatic and prostate cancers (COSMIC). This variant is reported in the IARC TP53 database with partially-functional transactivation activity based on functional assays by Kato et al. (2003). Additional yeast and mammalian assays performed by Dearth et al. (2007) demonstrated that the activity of TP53 Met237Arg was similar to wild type. TP53 Met237Arg 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 Methionine and Arginine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. TP53 Met237Arg occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located within the domain interaction with HIPK1, required for interaction with ZNF385A and AXIN1. In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether TP53 Met237Arg is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 12, 2021The p.M237R variant (also known as c.710T>G), located in coding exon 6 of the TP53 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 710. The methionine at codon 237 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant is in the DNA binding domain of the TP53 protein and is reported to have partially 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 are equivocal about this variant's ability to suppress cell growth (Kotler E et al. Mol.Cell. 2018 Jul;71:178-190.e8; Giacomelli AO et al. Nat. Genet. 2018 Oct;50:1381-1387). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
