The exact variant p.Ser33Tyr has been directly tested in functional assays in at least two independent publications. Groen et al. (2008, PMID:18757411) identified S33Y in a primary T-LBL/ALL and demonstrated that S33Y h-catenin transfection into T-LBL/ALL cell lines enhanced TCF-mediated transcription and promoted cell growth. Pilati et al. (2014, PMID:24735922) tested S33Y in a TOP-FLASH luciferase reporter assay in Huh7 cells, confirming strong activation of beta-catenin transcriptional activity. Both studies demonstrate unequivocal gain-of-function: the variant disrupts the GSK-3beta phosphorylation site at serine 33, preventing ubiquitin-mediated degradation and causing constitutive beta-catenin stabilization and transcriptional activation.

The variant is located at codon 33 (serine 33), one of the four critical GSK-3beta phosphorylation sites (S33, S37, T41, S45) within the N-terminal degradation domain of beta-catenin (amino acids 29-49). This domain is essential for ubiquitin-mediated degradation of beta-catenin. Mutations at these residues are well-established to cause beta-catenin stabilization and constitutive WNT pathway activation. Cancer Hotspots identifies this residue as statistically significant. The N-terminal domain is a well-characterized functional domain critical to beta-catenin regulation.

PM2Moderate
PM2 · moderate

This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, gnomAD v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada v1.0 across all populations. The complete absence from large population databases supports pathogenicity.

PM5Moderate
PM5 · moderate

Multiple different missense changes at codon 33 have been reported as pathogenic in the literature and ClinVar. Specifically, S33F (TCT→TTT) and S33C (TCT→TGT) are established pathogenic variants at the same residue. S33F was reported in pilomatricomas (PMID:10192393, 2 cases), medulloblastomas (PMID:16685513, 3 cases; PMID:16258095, codon 33 TCT→TTT; SER→PHE), and T-cell lymphoma (PMID:18757411, 1 case). S33C was reported in medulloblastomas (PMID:16685513, 2 cases). These same-residue comparator variants with different amino acid changes satisfy PM5 under generic ACMG/AMP.

Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest a lack of deleterious effect. REVEL score is 0.495, below the typical 0.5 pathogenic threshold. BayesDel score is 0.0085, a very low value not consistent with damaging effect. SpliceAI max delta score is 0.00, indicating no predicted impact on splicing. While REVEL is borderline, the consensus of three independent in silico predictors leans toward a benign interpretation.

Recorded classification: Pathogenic

gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PS3 strong, PM1 moderate, PM2 moderate, PM5 moderate, BP4 supporting benign; combination = 1 strong + 3 moderate + 1 supporting benign, which maps to Pathogenic.

Located at serine 33, a critical GSK-3beta phosphorylation site within the N-terminal degradation domain of beta-catenin, identified as a statistically significant hotspot residue.

Functional studies demonstrate that p.Ser33Tyr causes gain-of-function through constitutive beta-catenin stabilization and enhanced TCF-mediated transcriptional activation, tested directly in T-LBL/ALL cell lines and Huh7 luciferase reporter assays.

Different pathogenic missense changes at the same codon (S33F, S33C) have been established as pathogenic in multiple independent publications across pilomatricomas, medulloblastomas, and T-cell malignancies.

In silico prediction tools (REVEL 0.495, BayesDel 0.0085, SpliceAI 0.00) do not support a damaging effect, though this is outweighed by the strong functional evidence.

This variant has been reported in somatic cancers 103 times in COSMIC and is classified as Oncogenic (gain-of-function) by OncoKB.

Applying generic ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules: PS3 (strong) + PM1 (moderate) + PM2 (moderate) + PM5 (moderate) + BP4 (supporting benign) = 1 strong + 3 moderate pathogenic criteria minus 1 supporting benign criterion. This combination meets the threshold for Pathogenic classification.
