Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The TP53 c.267del (p.Ser90ProfsTer33) variant has been observed in somatic cancers in COSMIC (30 occurrences) and has been reported in ClinVar with Pathogenic and Likely pathogenic germline submissions.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, gnomAD v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada v1.0, placing its allele frequency below the TP53 PM2 threshold of less than 0.00003.
3
This early frameshift creates a premature stop at codon 122, which is well upstream of the TP53 VCEP p.Lys351 cutoff for predicted nonsense-mediated decay and supports PVS1 at very strong strength.
4
SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score 0.07), and this does not weaken the TP53 null-variant interpretation.
Final determination:
Tavtigian et.al., 2020 - Bayesian adaptation of Richards et.al., 2015 v2.4.0 point-based framework yields a total score of 9, which maps to Likely Pathogenic under the specified Tavtigian-style ranges.

Criteria shown when status is available
All criteria require review: For research and educational purposes only.
| Criterion | Status | Rationale | Evidence used |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVS1 | Met | This frameshift variant, NM_000546.6:c.267del (p.Ser90ProfsTer33), introduces a premature termination codon at codon 122, well upstream of the TP53 VCEP p.Lys351 cutoff for nonsense-mediated decay; under the TP53 PVS1 flowchart, a frameshift-induced premature stop predicted to undergo nonsense-mediated decay supports PVS1 at very strong strength. |

| PS4 | Not assessed | This variant has been reported in somatic cancers and in ClinVar, but no variant-specific TP53 proband data with Li-Fraumeni syndrome point totals were identified to show that the PS4 threshold was met. |

| PS1 | N/A | PS1 applies to a different nucleotide change that results in the same amino acid substitution as an established TP53 pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant. This variant is a frameshift and does not meet that rule structure. |

| PM1 | N/A | PM1 in the TP53 framework applies to missense variants at specified hotspot codons or recurrent somatic missense substitutions. This variant is a frameshift, and no hotspot-based missense rule applies. |

| PM5 | N/A | PM5 in the TP53 framework is classic same-residue missense logic. This variant is a frameshift and is not eligible for PM5. |

| PP3 | N/A | SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score 0.07, below the TP53 splice-evidence threshold of 0.2), and the TP53 PP3 framework is not designed to add separate computational evidence for this early frameshift in this context. |
