This sequence change falls in intron 3 of the TP53 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the TP53 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (PMID: 11420676, 24382691, 28681140). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as IVS3-11 C>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 638852). RNA analysis provides insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on TP53 splicing (Invitae). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Clinical Statement
This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (2 clinical laboratories) and as Likely pathogenic (1 clinical laboratories).

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific) VCEP Guidelines
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PVS1 applies only to canonical splice variants (±1,2 intronic positions) or validated null mechanisms. The variant c.97-11C>G is outside the ±1,2 positions and lacks experimental RNA evidence. Therefore, PVS1 is not applied.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PS1 applies when a variant results in the same amino acid change as a known pathogenic variant. c.97-11C>G is intronic with no amino acid change. Therefore, PS1 is not applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PS2 requires confirmed de novo occurrence with parental testing. No de novo data are available. Therefore, PS2 is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PS3 requires well-validated functional assay evidence of loss of function. No functional studies are available for this variant. Therefore, PS3 is not applied.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PS4 requires proband case points for LFS-associated cancers. No case-level data are available. Therefore, PS4 is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PM1 applies to missense variants in TP53 hotspot codons. c.97-11C>G is intronic. Therefore, PM1 is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PM2 Supporting: "Variant should have an allele frequency of less than 0.00003 in gnomAD...". The variant is absent from gnomAD (MAF=0%). Therefore, PM2 is applied at Supporting strength.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG/AMP guidelines, PM3 applies to recessive gene inheritance with trans observations. TP53 is autosomal dominant and no trans data exist. Therefore, PM3 is not applied.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG/AMP guidelines, PM4 applies to protein length changes from in-frame indels. c.97-11C>G does not alter protein length directly. Therefore, PM4 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. c.97-11C>G is intronic. Therefore, PM5 is not applied.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG/AMP guidelines, PM6 applies to assumed de novo occurrence without confirmation. No de novo data exist. Therefore, PM6 is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PP1 requires cosegregation in multiple meioses. No segregation data are available. Therefore, PP1 is not applied.
PP2
PP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG/AMP guidelines, PP2 applies to missense variants in genes with low benign missense variation. This is intronic, not missense. Therefore, PP2 is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Supporting)
According to VCEP guidelines, Intronic splice variants (excluding ±1,2) with SpliceAI ≥0.2 qualify for PP3 Supporting: "SpliceAI ≥ 0.2". The variant has a SpliceAI score of 0.97. Therefore, PP3 is applied at Supporting strength.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PP4 requires phenotype specificity for TP53-related disorders. No phenotype data are provided. Therefore, PP4 is not applied.
PP5
PP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, PP5 is not recommended for TP53 variant interpretation. Although ClinVar entries report pathogenicity, VCEP excludes PP5. Therefore, PP5 is not applied.

BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, BA1 Stand Alone applies for a filtering allele frequency ≥0.1%. The variant is absent. Therefore, BA1 is not applied.
BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, BS1 Strong applies for filtering allele frequency ≥0.0003. The variant is absent. Therefore, BS1 is not applied.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
