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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthJan 24, 2022This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 720 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 cancer (PMID: 19781682, 33471991), an individual with prostate cancer (PMID: 31214711), and individuals without cancer (PMID: 30287823, 31214711, 32980694, 33471991). This variant has been identified in 4/251022 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 GeneticsMar 12, 2024The p.R720C variant (also known as c.2158C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the ATM gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2158. The arginine at codon 720 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast cancer (Tavtigian SV et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2009 Oct;85:427-46; Hauke J et al. Cancer Med, 2018 04;7:1349-1358; Lerner-Ellis J et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol. 2021 147, 871&ndash;879). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Ataxia-telangiectasia syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 30, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 720 of the ATM protein (p.Arg720Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs565622131, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 19781682). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 407475). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
Breast and/or ovarian cancer Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingCHEO Genetics Diagnostic Laboratory, Children's Hospital of Eastern OntarioJun 29, 2023- -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 10, 2017This variant is denoted ATM c.2158C>T at the cDNA level, p.Arg720Cys (R720C) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Arginine to a Cysteine (CGT>TGT). This variant was observed in 1/2531 breast cancer cases and in none of 2245 controls (Tavtigian 2009). ATM Arg720Cys was not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016, The 1000 Genomes Consortium 2015, NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project). Since Arginine and Cysteine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. ATM Arg720Cys occurs at a position that is not conserved and is not located in a known functional domain. In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether ATM Arg720Cys is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The ATM p.Arg720Cys variant was identified in 1 of 8224 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0001) from individuals or families with breast cancer and was not identified in 4792 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Tavtigian 2009). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs565622131) “With Uncertain significance allele”, ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, GeneDx and Ambry Genetics) and LOVD 3.0 (3x). The variant was also identified in control databases in 4 of 245874 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00002 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the following populations: African in 2 of 15296 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), Latino in 1 of 33536 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003) and European Non-Finnish in 1 of 111552 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009); it was not observed in the Other, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Arg720Cys residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) 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. -
