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]

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -

Variant summary: The c.186-7C>T variant affects a non-conserved intronic nucleotide. Mutation taster predicts benign outcome for this variant. 5/5 programs in Alamut predict no significant effect on RNA splicing sites. ESE finder predicts that this variant may affect ESE site of SRp40. However, these predictions are not validated by experimental studies yet. This variant is found in 149/83742 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in African subpopulation in ExAC with observed MAF of 0.01887 (139/7368 chr, 1 homozygote), This frequency exceeds the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.0005), suggesting this variant is a benign polymorphism especially for Africans. This variant has been reported in multiple pts with different kinds of cancers (including BrC, T-ALL, AML, LS associated cancer, etc.) without strong evidence for causality. In addition, two clinical laboratories via ClinVar classified this variant as benign, without evidence to independently evaluate. Taken together, this variant was classified as Benign. -

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered benign. This variant is intronic and is not expected to impact mRNA splicing. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. This variant has been observed at a population frequency that is significantly greater than expected given the associated disease prevalence and penetrance. -

The ATM c.186-7C>T variant was identified in 4 of 2730 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.00146) from individuals or families with Lynch syndrome (Yorczyk 2015, Yurgelun 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSBP (ID: rs55674039) as “With Benign allele,” ClinVar (as benign by GeneDx and Invitae), and Clinvitae (as benign) databases. The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, ATM-LOVD databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 438 of 270788 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.001618 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). The variant was identified in the African population at a frequency greater than 1% in 404 (4 homozygous) of 23450 chromosomes (freq: 0.017), and at lower frequencies in the following populations: Other in 3 of 6358 chromosomes (freq. 0.00047), Latino in 24 of 33868 chromosomes (freq. 0.0007), European (Non-Finnish) in 3 of 123042 chromosomes (freq. 0.00002), and South Asian in 4 of 29908 chromosomes (freq. 0.0001), increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant. The c.186-7C>T variant is located in the 3' splice region but does not affect the invariant -1 and -2 positions. However, positions -3 and -5 to -12 are part of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions sometimes affect splicing. However, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -
