Functional Studies

Functional Impact
Summary
The TP53 R280Efs*65 variant is a truncating mutation in the TP53 gene, a critical tumor suppressor involved in the DNA damage response pathway. Functional studies indicate that truncating mutations in TP53 lead to the production of C-terminally truncated proteins, which are predicted to be inactivating. These truncated proteins have been experimentally shown to promote cancer cell proliferation, survival, and metastasis, partly due to their aberrant localization to the mitochondria and regulation of survival-related genes. Therefore, the TP53 R280Efs*65 variant is functionally characterized as likely oncogenic.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria VCEP Guidelines
PVS1
PVS1 (Very Strong)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Nonsense or frameshift variants predicted to result in NMD for frameshift induced PTC upstream of p.Lys351". The evidence for this variant shows: the R280Efs*65 frameshift introduces a premature stop codon at amino acid ~345, upstream of p.Lys351, and is predicted to undergo NMD. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because the frameshift is upstream of p.Lys351 and leads to NMD in TP53, a known LOF mechanism.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, PS1 applies when a variant has the same amino acid change as a known pathogenic variant. The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift, not a missense change at an amino acid position previously implicated. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the amino acid change is novel and not identical to any known pathogenic missense change.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PS2 (de novo occurrence) requires documented de novo events with parental confirmation. The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to lack of de novo evidence.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PS3 should not be applied if PVS1 is applied at full strength. The evidence for this variant shows: PVS1 Very Strong has been applied. Therefore, PS3 is not applied to avoid double counting LOF evidence.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PS4 requires statistical enrichment or case-control data/point system. The evidence for this variant shows: no case or proband points data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to absence of case-control or proband point evidence.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PM1 applies to missense variants in specific hotspot codons. The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift variant, not a missense change in a hotspot. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because PM1 is only for missense variants in TP53 hotspots.
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PM2_Supporting applies when allele frequency is <0.00003 in gnomAD. The evidence for this variant shows: it is absent from gnomAD and other population databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because the variant is not observed in large population cohorts.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, PM3 applies to variants in trans with a pathogenic variant for recessive disorders. The evidence for this variant shows: TP53-related disease is dominant and no trans data apply. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, PM4 applies to in-frame indels that alter protein length without causing NMD. The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift predicted to undergo NMD. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PM5 applies to missense variants at residues with other pathogenic missense changes. The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift, not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, PM6 applies to presumed de novo variants without confirmation. The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PP1 applies to segregation in affected family members. The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP2
PP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, PP2 applies to missense variants in genes with low rate of benign missense variation. The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PP3 should not be used in combination with PVS1. The evidence for this variant shows: PVS1 Very Strong is applied. Therefore, PP3 is not applied.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PP4 applies to phenotypic specificity consistent with gene. The evidence for this variant shows: no specific phenotype or VAF data provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5
PP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, PP5 applies to reputable source assertions. The evidence for this variant shows: no external assertions. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, BA1 applies to variant allele frequency ≥0.001. The evidence for this variant shows: allele frequency is 0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, BS1 applies to filtering allele frequency ≥0.0003 but <0.001. The evidence for this variant shows: allele frequency is 0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, BS2 applies to observation of ≥8 unaffected older females. The evidence for this variant shows: no healthy aged individuals reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
