Description

The p.A20G variant (also known as c.59C>G), located in coding exon 1 of the CDKN2A gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 59. The alanine at codon 20 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with similar properties. A functional study reported this variant as potentially deleterious based on in-vitro assessment of impact on proliferation in human pancreatic cancer cell lines (Kimura H et al. Elife, 2022 Jan;11). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.

Description

The CDKN2A locus encodes two different gene products, p16INK4a and p14ARF (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7030/ ). This missense variant replaces alanine with glycine at codon 20 in the ankyrin repeat domain of the CDKN2A (p16INK4A) protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/231932 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Functional studies have reported that this variant causes a loss of CDKN2A (p16INK4A) function in cell proliferation assays and cell cycle analysis using CDKN2A-null cell lines (PMID: 35001868). Although there is a suspicion for a pathogenic role, the available clinical evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
