Description
In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on CDKN2A (p16INK4a) function (PMID: 9053859, 19260062, 23190892, 24659262). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9424). This variant is also known as c.382_383delinsCT (p.Ala128Leu) in the CDKN2A (p14ARF) transcript. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with melanoma (PMID: 17492760, 17992122, 21462282). Information on the frequency of this variant in the gnomAD database is not available, as this variant may be reported differently in the database. This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 114 of the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) protein (p.Pro114Ser). The CDKN2A gene encodes two different proteins, p16INK4a and p14ARF, which are translated from alternative transcripts with different open reading frames. Both transcripts have been analyzed. We report either the variant with the higher classification or default to the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) variant. This report therefore includes the details for the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) variant.
