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 CDKN2A (p16) c.104G>A (p.Gly35Glu) variant has been reported in the published literature in several individuals and families with melanoma (PMIDs: 28830827 (2017), 25780468 (2014), 17047042 (2006), 15860862 (2005)). A functional study indicates this variant is wild type-like in regulating cell proliferation (PMID: 24659262 (2014)). Other missense variants at this codon have also been observed in individuals with melanoma, with mild to pronounced effects on cell growth (PMIDs: 28830827 (2017), 25780468 (2014), 24659262 (2014), 17047042 (2006)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The CDKN2A c.104G>A (p.Gly35Glu) variant results in a non-conservative amino acid change at the highly conserved Ankyrin repeat-containing domain of the protein. 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant is absent in 117326 control chromosomes. This variant has been reported in multiple melanoma patients and is classified by some publications as pathogenic, but considerable authorship overlap among reported studies precludes a confirmation of its presence in multiple independent families or individuals with cutaneous malignant melanoma. Furthermore, no studies reporting a co-segregation of this variant with melanoma have been published. A single functional study demonstrated a wild-type like proliferation assay output with a 3% difference between wt and variant (Scaini_Hum Mut_2013). In addition, one other clinical diagnostic laboratory classified this variant as uncertain significance, without evidence to independently evaluate. Taken together, this variant is classified as VUS. -

The p.G35E variant (also known as c.104G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the CDKN2A gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 104. The glycine at codon 35 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple familial melanoma cases, as well as individuals with multiple primary melanomas (Goldstein AM et al, Cancer Res. 2006 Oct; 66(20):9818-28; Harland M et al, Hered Cancer Clin Pract 2014 ; 12(1):20; Puig S et al, J. Clin. Oncol. 2005 May; 23(13):3043-51). However, a study combining functional data and computational predictions determined this alteration to be "wild-type like" via an in vitro proliferation assay (Scaini MC et al, Hum. Mutat. 2014 Jul; 35(7):828-40). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The CDKN2A locus encodes two different gene products, p16INK4a and p14ARF (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7030/). This missense variant replaces glycine with glutamic acid at codon 35 of the CDKN2A (p16INK4A) protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function. A functional study has shown that the variant displays wild type-like protein activity in a cell proliferation assay (PMID: 24659262). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with melanoma in the literature (PMID: 15860862, 25780468). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 35 of the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) protein (p.Gly35Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of familial cutaneous melanoma and/or melanoma (PMID: 15860862, 17047042, 24659262; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188292). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect CDKN2A (p16INK4a) function (PMID: 24659262). This variant disrupts the p.Gly35 amino acid residue in CDKN2A (p16INK4a). Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8595405, 9425228, 12072543, 12556369, 19260062, 19759551, 21462282, 22841127; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -
