Genes affected

ATM (HGNC:795): (ATM serine/threonine kinase) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family. This protein is an important cell cycle checkpoint kinase that phosphorylates; thus, it functions as a regulator of a wide variety of downstream proteins, including tumor suppressor proteins p53 and BRCA1, checkpoint kinase CHK2, checkpoint proteins RAD17 and RAD9, and DNA repair protein NBS1. This protein and the closely related kinase ATR are thought to be master controllers of cell cycle checkpoint signaling pathways that are required for cell response to DNA damage and for genome stability. Mutations in this gene are associated with ataxia telangiectasia, an autosomal recessive disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg35*) in the ATM gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ATM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23807571, 25614872). This variant is present in population databases (rs55861249, gnomAD 0.009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) and/or breast cancer (PMID: 8968760, 21665257, 26845104). It is commonly reported in individuals of North African Jewish ancestry (PMID: 8968760). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3025). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects ATM function (PMID: 8968760, 12637545, 15101044, 17699107). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.002%). Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000003025 / PMID: 8968760). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Variant summary: Variant summary: The ATM c.103C>T (p.Arg35X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent ATM protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. c.513C>G, p.Tyr171X; c.790delT, p.Tyr264fsX12; c.1027_1030delGAAA, p.Glu343fsX2). One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 8/246618 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000324, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic ATM variant (0.0039528). The variant was reported in numerous affected individuals in the literature, and is known as a North African Jewish founder mutation. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

PVS1, PM5_Supporting c.103C>T, located in exon 3 of the ATM gene, is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation before codon 35, p.(Arg35*). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (PVS1, PM5_Supporting). The variant allele was found in 5/268068 alleles with an allele frequency of 0.0018% in the population database gnomAD v2.1.1 (non-cancer dataset). The SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing. In addition, it has been reported in ClinVar database (21x pathogenic, 1x likely pathogenic) and in the LOVD database (2x pathogenic, 10x uncertain significance, 2x not classified). Based on currently available information, the variant c.103C>T is classified as a pathogenic variant according to ClinGen-ATM Guidelines version v1.1. -

The p.R35* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.103C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the ATM gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 103. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 2. This alteration has been previously reported in a homozygous state in multiple individuals of North African Jewish ancestry with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). Additionally, the allele frequency in North African Jewish individuals with A-T has been reported at 97%, as compared to 29% in the healthy North African Jewish population, strongly indicating a founder effect in this population (Gilad S et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 1996 Dec;5:2033-7). The p.R35* mutation was subsequently identified in both Hispanic and Sephardic Jewish A-T families sharing the same SNP haplotype, suggesting that this mutation has spread to other ethnicities over time as a result of migration (Campbell C et al. Hum. Mutat. 2003 Jan;21:80-5). Furthermore, functional studies show that this mutation leads to the elimination of ATM protein synthesis (Gilad S et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 1996 Dec;5:2033-7) as well as increased radiosensitivity (Gutiérrez-Enríquez S et al. Genes Chromosomes Cancer. 2004 Jun;40:109-19) in lymphoblastoid cell lines homozygous for this mutation. In addition to patients with ataxia-telangiectasia, this alteration has also been reported in breast, prostate and pancreatic cancer cohorts (Lowery MA et al. J Natl Cancer Inst, 2018 10;110:1067-1074; Bannon SA et al. Cancer Prev Res (Phila), 2018 11;11:679-686; Nguyen-Dumont T et al. Int J Cancer, 2020 10;147:2142-2149; Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 3 of the ATM gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in the homozygous state or compound heterozygous state with an additional pathogenic ATM variant in many individuals affected with ataxia telangiectasia (PMID: 8968760, 9450906, 10873394, 12072877, 12815592, 21665257, 35154108) and has been described as a recurrent mutation in the North African Jewish population (PMID: 8968760). In a large international case-control study, this variant was reported in 1/60466 breast cancer cases and 2/53461 controls (PMID: 33471991). Cells derived from the carriers have shown increased radiosensitivity (PMID: 15101044, 17699107). This variant has been identified in 5/251230 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of ATM function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

This nonsense variant found in exon 3 of 63 is predicted to result in loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.103C>T (p.Arg35Ter) variant affects protein synthesis by truncating the ATM protein very close to its N-terminus (PMID: 8968760). Loss-of-function variation in ATM is an established mechanism of disease (PMID: 23807571, 26098866). Functional studies indicate heterozygotes with this variant may have reduced (approximately half) ATM protein expression (PMID: 34723800, 8968760). The c.103C>T (p.Arg35Ter) variant is a known Pathogenic variant that has been previously reported as a compound heterozygous and homozygous change in individuals with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) (PMID: 8968760, 15101044, 21665257) and has been reported in association with a higher risk for breast, prostate, and other forms of cancer (PMID: 31447099, 21665257, 32338768, 29506128, 30274973, 33436325). This variant is commonly reported in individuals of North African Jewish ancestry (PMID: 8968760). The c.103C>T (p.Arg35Ter) variant is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.002% (5/251230) and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, c.103C>T (p.Arg35Ter) is classified as Pathogenic. -
