Is TP53 p.Ser37Cys (c.110C>G) pathogenic?

TP53 p.Ser37Cys (c.110C>G) is classified Uncertain significance in TP53 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2024-03-21). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0842); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with Li-Fraumeni syndrome.

What condition is associated with TP53 p.Ser37Cys (c.110C>G)?

TP53 p.Ser37Cys (c.110C>G) is associated with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is TP53 p.Ser37Cys (c.110C>G) in the general population?

TP53 p.Ser37Cys (c.110C>G) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Li-Fraumeni syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about TP53 p.Ser37Cys (c.110C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0842) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.
