Description
This variant is denoted TP53 c.797G>A at the cDNA level, p.Gly266Glu (G266E) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glycine to a Glutamic Acid (GGA>GAA). This variant has been observed in at least one individual with childhood-onset medulloblastoma and another with personal/family reportedly suggestive of Li-Fraumeni syndrome (Bougeard 2008, Rausch 2012). Functional studies have consistently found that TP53 Gly266Glu is not capable of transactivating typical p53 response elements, leads to a loss of growth suppression activity, and does not exhibit a dominant-negative effect (Campomenosi 2001, Monti 2002, Grochova 2008, Slovackova 2010, Kotler 2018). This variant is reported as having non-functional transactivation in the International Agency for Research on Cancer TP53 database based on functional assays by Kato et al. (2003). TP53 Gly266Glu was not observed 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 the currently available information, we consider TP53 Gly266Glu to be a likely pathogenic variant.
