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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoFeb 03, 2021In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMIDs: 17393301 (2008), 28569218 (2017), 28779002 (2017), 30537493 (2018), 30303537 (2019)), prostate cancer (PMID: 29368341 (2018)), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (PMID: 28652578 (2017)), as well as unaffected controls (PMIDs: 28779002 (2017), 30303537 (2019)). It has also been reported in individuals with breast cancer as well as in unaffected controls in a breast cancer association study (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/ATM)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0002 (7/35394 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJul 03, 2023In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with breast cancer, prostate, pancreatic, and other cancers (Broeks et al., 2008, Decker et al., 2017, Tiao et al., 2017, Isaacsson Velho et al., 2018, Walsh et al., 2018, Elbracht et al., 2021; Yu et al., 2022); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27896999, 28569218, 28870692, 22529920, 17393301, 19781682, 22420423, 27720647, 24463458, 28500398, 27844328, 28779002, 29368341, 29449433, 23778141, 29872864, 28652578, 29106415, 29316426, 30197789, 30662270, 30814645, 31843900, 30537493, 33280026, 30311369, 32183301, 30303537, 34477817, 35047863) -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:4
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthMay 05, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 337 of the ATM protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast and prostate cancer (PMID: 17393301, 19781682, 20305132, 23555315, 28779002, 29368341, 34477817), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (PMID: 28652578) and in unaffected controls (PMID: 28652578, 28779002). In addition, a large international case-control study reported this variant in 4/60462 breast cancer cases and 10/53451 controls (OR=0.354, 95%, CI 0.111 to 1.128, p-value=0.105; PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 26/282550 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 20, 2023The p.R337C variant (also known as c.1009C>T), located in coding exon 7 of the ATM gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1009. The arginine at codon 337 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. Using multiple in silico tools, this alteration was predicted to have some potential for functional significance (Tavtigian SV et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2009 Oct;85:427-46; George Priya Doss C et al. PLoS One. 2012 Apr;7:e34573). This alteration has been reported in an individual with unilateral breast cancer diagnosed before 50 years of age and an individual with prostate cancer (Broeks A et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2008 Jan;107:243-8; Velho P et al. Prostate 2018 04;78(5):401-407). This alteration has also been reported both in affected cancer individuals and in unaffected controls across several studies (Decker B et al. J Med Genet, 2017 11;54:732-741; Tiao G et al. Leukemia, 2017 10;31:2244-2247; Girard E et al. Int J Cancer, 2019 04;144:1962-1974). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be inconclusive by in silico analyses. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSt. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research HospitalOct 16, 2023The ATM c.1009C>T (p.Arg337Cys) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.019% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The in silico tool REVEL is inconclusive about a pathogenic or benign effect of this variant on protein function, and to our knowledge functional studies have not been performed. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 19781682, 30303537). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with ataxia telangiectasia. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 18, 2023Variant summary: ATM c.1009C>T (p.Arg337Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000092 (i.e. 26 heterozygotes) in 282550 control chromosomes gnomAD. This frequency is not higher than the estimated maximum expected for a pathogenic variant in ATM causing Breast Cancer (0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1009C>T has been reported in the literature in numerous individuals affected with Breast Cancer and other tumor phenotypes that belong to the HBOC cancer spectrum (e.g. Broeks_2008, Tavtigian_2009, Bernstein_2010, Karlsson_2021, Elbracht_2021), however, it was also reported in controls (Karlsson_2021). In a recent large study evaluating breast cancer cases and controls in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC), the variant was reported in 4/60466 cases, but was also found in 10/53461 controls (Dorling_2021 through LOVD). At-least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been observed at our laboratory (MSH2 c.2021G>A, p.Gly674Asp), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function and no occurrence of the variant in individuals affected with Ataxia-Telangiectasia has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 20305132, 17393301, 33471991, 34477817, 33280026, 26085511, 33436325, 36315919, 27322425, 19781682, 28652578). Multiple submitters have reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, mostly without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant with a predominant consensus as VUS (n=13); two submitters classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The ATM p.Arg337Cys variant was identified in 1 of 874 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families with breast cancer (Broeks 2008). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs138398778) as “With Uncertain significance allele”, in ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, Invitae, Color Genomics), Clinvitae, Cosmic, and MutDB databases. The variant was not identified in the COGR or LOVD 3.0 databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 23 of 276952 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the following populations: African in 1 of 24020 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), Other in 1 of 6460 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), Latino in 6 of 34376 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), European in 13 of 126526 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), and South Asian in 2 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.000065), it was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, or Finnish populations. The p.Arg337 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the variant may impact the protein. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 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, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
