The recorded framework is ClinGen TP53 VCEP v2.4.0. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.
The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
PS3 (Strong) is met per the TP53 VCEP Functional-worksheet.xlsx (Supplementary Table S3). The p.Pro278Arg (P278R) substitution is classified as Non-functional in the Kato et al. (PMID:12826609) assay AND demonstrates loss of function (LOF) by the majority of other eligible functional assays (Giacomelli: LOF, Kotler: LOF, Funk: noLOF). Two of three non-Kato assays show LOF, satisfying the VCEP rule for PS3: 'Non-functional on Kato et al. data AND loss of function by the majority of other eligible assays.'
PM1 (Moderate) is met per the TP53 VCEP specifications. Although codon 278 is not among the listed major hotspot codons (175, 245, 248, 249, 273, 282), the variant is a germline missense change at a residue that is a statistically significant hotspot in cancerhotspots.org, and the exact amino acid change (Pro278Arg) has 82 somatic occurrences in COSMIC (COSV52661225), well exceeding the VCEP threshold of >=10 somatic occurrences for the same amino acid change.
PM2_Supporting is met per the TP53 VCEP population frequency rules. The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and has an allele frequency of 6.2e-7 (1/1,614,022 alleles) in gnomAD v4.1, with the highest subpopulation frequency of 8.5e-7 in European (non-Finnish) (1/1,180,014 alleles). Both the total allele frequency (<0.00003) and the single-ancestry-group frequency with only one allele observed (<0.00004) satisfy the PM2_Supporting threshold.
PP3_Moderate is met per the TP53 VCEP PP3-BP4-codes.xlsx (Supplementary Table S2), which pre-assigns PP3_moderate to c.833C>G (p.Pro278Arg). The variant has an aGVGD class of C65 and a BayesDel score of 0.607821 (>=0.16), satisfying the VCEP rule for PP3_Moderate. SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta = 0.00), so no splicing adjustment is needed.
No benign criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
Tavtigian et.al., 2020 - Bayesian adaptation of Richards et.al., 2015 v2.4.0 point-based framework: PS3 strong (+4) + PM1 moderate (+2) + PM2 supporting (+1) + PP3 moderate (+2) = 9 points, which maps to Likely Pathogenic.

NM_000546.5:c.833C>G (p.Pro278Arg) is a missense variant in TP53 exon 8, absent from gnomAD v2.1 and present at extremely low frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (AF=6.2e-7, 1/1,614,022 alleles).
PS3 (Strong) is met: the variant is Non-functional in the Kato et al. functional assay AND demonstrates loss of function by the majority of other eligible assays (Giacomelli: LOF, Kotler: LOF, Funk: noLOF), per the TP53 VCEP Functional-worksheet.xlsx (Supplementary Table S3).
PM1 (Moderate) is met: codon 278 is a statistically significant hotspot residue in cancerhotspots.org, and the Pro278Arg change has 82 somatic occurrences in COSMIC, far exceeding the VCEP threshold of >=10 for PM1_Moderate.
PM2 (Supporting) is met: the variant allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (6.2e-7) is well below the VCEP PM2_Supporting threshold of 0.00003, with no genetic ancestry group exceeding 0.00004.
PP3 (Moderate) is met per the TP53 VCEP PP3-BP4-codes.xlsx (Supplementary Table S2): aGVGD class C65 with BayesDel score 0.607821 (>=0.16), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta 0.00).
Multiple criteria remain unassessed due to absent data: PS1 (requires VCEP classification of alternate nucleotide change c.833C>A for same amino acid P278R), PS2 (no de novo report with confirmed parentage), PS4 (germline proband counts unavailable), PM5 (formal VCEP classifications for codon 278 comparators needed), PP1 (no cosegregation data), PP4 (no VAF data), BS2 (no data on elderly unaffected carriers), and BS4 (no lack-of-segregation reports).
Applying the TP53 VCEP v2.4.0 Tavtigian point system: PS3=4 + PM1=1 + PM2_Supporting=0.5 + PP3_Moderate=1 = 6.5 points, which falls in the Likely Pathogenic range (6-9 points).
This variant has been reported in ClinVar with conflicting classifications: Uncertain significance (3 clinical laboratories), Likely pathogenic (1), and Pathogenic (1). (ClinVar Variation ID: 376644)
