Functional studies demonstrate that the IDH1 R132C variant confers a neomorphic gain-of-function activity, producing the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). PMID:23954893 directly tested R132C in a mouse bone marrow transplantation model, showing accelerated leukemogenesis with shortened survival (median 83 vs 167 days, p<0.001). PMID:19935646 established the mechanism that R132 mutations (including R132H) produce 2-HG. PMID:29670690 confirmed R132C as a target of the FDA-approved inhibitor ivosidenib (AG-120) with nanomolar IC50 (enzyme 13 nM, cellular 8 nM), providing orthogonal pharmacologic validation of the variant's functional significance.
Residue R132 lies within the active site of IDH1 (residues 104-136), a well-established critical functional domain. R132 is the single most recurrently mutated amino acid in IDH1 across all cancer types and is flagged as a statistically significant hotspot by cancerhotspots.org. PMID:19935646 demonstrates that mutations at R132 abrogate normal isocitrate-to-αKG conversion and confer neomorphic 2-HG production.
Absent from gnomAD v2.1 (0/251,292 alleles, AF=0.00%) and nearly absent from gnomAD v4.1 (1/1,613,126 alleles, AF=0.00006%). Both are well below the 0.1% PM2 threshold for a rare variant absent from population controls.
Multiple different missense changes at the same amino acid residue R132 are established as pathogenic: R132H (c.395G>A, the most common IDH1 mutation in gliomas and AML), R132S (c.394C>A), R132G (c.394C>G), and R132L (c.395G>T). All R132 mutations share the same gain-of-function mechanism producing 2-HG (PMID:19935646). The current variant R132C (c.394C>T) occurs at the same critical residue, satisfying PM5.
Multiple in silico tools predict a deleterious effect. REVEL score of 0.814 exceeds the 0.5 threshold for a damaging prediction. SpliceAI max delta score of 0.51 suggests possible splice-altering potential. BayesDel score of 0.415 is borderline but the consensus of in silico predictors supports a pathogenic interpretation.
No benign criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
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, PP3 supporting; combination = 1 strong + 3 moderate + 1 supporting, which maps to Pathogenic.

IDH1 c.394C>T (p.Arg132Cys) is a missense variant at the critical active-site residue R132, the most recurrently mutated amino acid in IDH1 across all cancer types.
Functional studies directly testing R132C demonstrate a neomorphic gain-of-function: the variant enzyme produces the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate and promotes leukemogenesis in a mouse transplantation model, with median survival shortened from 167 to 83 days (p<0.001).
R132C is effectively targeted by the FDA-approved mutant IDH1 inhibitor ivosidenib (AG-120) with nanomolar potency (IC50 13 nM enzyme, 8 nM cellular), and ivosidenib induces differentiation of primary R132C AML blasts ex vivo.
Multiple different missense changes at the same residue (R132H, R132S, R132G, R132L) are established as pathogenic and share the same gain-of-function mechanism, satisfying PM5.
The variant is essentially absent from population databases (gnomAD v2.1: 0/251,292 alleles; gnomAD v4.1: 1/1,613,126 alleles, AF=0.00006%), meeting PM2 for rarity in controls.
In silico predictors support a deleterious effect (REVEL 0.814) and possible splice alteration (SpliceAI max delta 0.51), contributing supporting evidence (PP3).
The variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic by multiple clinical laboratories and is recorded in COSMIC with 1,377 somatic observations.
Applying generic ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules: PS3 (strong) + PM1 (moderate) + PM2 (moderate) + PM5 (moderate) + PP3 (supporting) → Pathogenic (class 5).
