Description
The TP53 p.Asp21= variant was identified in 4 of 658 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.01) from individuals or families with breast cancer (Ginsburg 2009, Holstege 2009, Lee 2010). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs1800369) as "With other allele", ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae, GeneDx, Integrated Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America; as likely benign by Color Genomics, Ambry Genetics), and in IARC TP53 (2x). The variant was not identified in the COGR, or LOVD 3.0 databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 136 of 245170 chromosomes (2 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.001 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the South Asian population in 136 of 30680 chromosomes (freq: 0.004), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, European, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, and Finnish populations. The p.Asp21= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign.
