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]

The observed missense variant c.743G>A (p.Arg248Gln) in the ATM gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. This variant is reported with the allele frequency 0.001% in the gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Uncertain Significance by multiple submitters. However, no details are available for independent assessment. The amino acid Arginine at position 248 is changed to a Glutamine changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico- chemical properties. Multiple lines of computational evidence (Polyphen - Probably damaging, SIFT - Damaging and MutationTaster - Disease causing) predict a damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. The residue is conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 248 of the ATM protein (p.Arg248Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs769166447, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 37323311). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 479015). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt ATM protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R248Q variant (also known as c.743G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the ATM gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 743. The arginine at codon 248 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.
