ClinGen expert panel — TP53 VCEP
Pathogenic for Li-Fraumeni syndrome 1. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):
PM6_Strong PS3 PS4_Moderate PM1
Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)
This variant has >10 observations as a somatic hotspot variant in tumors (PM1; cancerhotspots.org v(2)). Transactivation assays show a low functioning allele according to Kato, et al. and there is evidence of a dominant negative effect and loss of function according to Giacomelli, et al. (PS3; PMID: 12826609, 30224644). This variant has been reported in 4 probands meeting Chompret criteria (PS4_Moderate; PMID: 25584008, 23175693, IARC, NIH). There are de novo observations in 2 probands with childhood rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, without parental confirmation (PM6_Strong; PMID: IARC, NIH). In summary, TP53 c.814G>A (p.Val272Met) meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Li-Fraumeni syndrome. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the TP53 Variant Curation Expert Panel: PM1, PS3, PS4_Moderate, PM6_Strong.

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.
Population frequency
Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
