Description
This variant is denoted TP53 c.847C>T at the cDNA level, p.Arg283Cys (R283C) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Arginine to a Cysteine (CGC>TGC). This variant has been reported in at least five individuals with various cancers, none of whom met Li-Fraumeni syndrome criteria, as well as at least two healthy controls (Keller 2004, Pekova 2011, Schulz 2012, Melhem-Bertrandt 2012, Bodian 2013, Mitchell 2013, Yurgelun 2015). TP53 Arg283Cys was also observed in a woman with a personal history of breast cancer and leiomyosarcoma who met Chompret criteria; however, she was also found to harbor a truncating BRCA2 variant (Manoukian 2007). Functional studies have identified both normal and reduced transcriptional activity for a variety of reporters, with no evidence for a dominant-negative effect (Pekova 2011, Monti 2011, Jagosova 2012). This variant is reported as having functional transactivation in the International Agency for Research on Cancer TP53 database based on functional assays by Kato et al. (2003). TP53 Arg283Cys was observed at an allele frequency of 0.02% (20/126,682) in individuals of European ancestry in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is located in the DNA binding domain (Bode 2004). In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether TP53 Arg283Cys is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance.
