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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces leucine with phenylalanine at codon 950 of the ATM protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. The variant has been reported in an individual affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28640387). This variant has been identified in 13/282754 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different missense variant affecting the same codon, p.Leu950Arg, is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar Variation ID: 186574), suggesting that leucine at this position is important for ATM protein function. The available evidence for the p.Leu950Phe variant is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

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

The p.L950F variant (also known as c.2848C>T), located in coding exon 18 of the ATM gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2848. The leucine at codon 950 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was identified in an individual diagnosed with colorectal cancer at 48 (Ricker CN et al. Cancer, 2017 Oct;123:3732-3743). RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in an incomplete splice defect; the clinical impact of this abnormal splicing is unknown at this time (Ambry internal data). 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. -

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

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 950 of the ATM protein (p.Leu950Phe). RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs763064034, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ATM-related conditions. This missense change has been observed to co-occur in individuals with a different variant in ATM that has been determined to be pathogenic (internal data), but the significance of this finding is unclear. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 220494). 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%. Studies have shown that this missense change results in activation of a cryptic splice site, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (internal data). 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. -

Variant summary: The variant, ATM c.2848C>T (p.Leu950Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.1e-05 in 277140 control chromosomes, predominantly within the Latino subpopulation at a frequency of 0.00038 in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in ATM causing Breast Cancer (0.00038 vs. 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.2848C>T has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with colorectal cancer (Ricker 2017). However, this report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Breast Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. A different missense change affecting the same amino acid residue (c.2849T>G, p.Leu950Arg) is reported in ClinVar as likely pathogenic that might indicate the importance of this amino acid residue in protein function. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28640387). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 220494). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The ATM c.2848C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu950Phe. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.037% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD and listed as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/220494/). Of note, a different substitution at the same codon, defined as c.2849T>G (p.Leu950Arg), was identified in individuals with ataxia telangiectasia or prostate cancer (see for example, reported as L949R at Becker-Catania et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10873394; Na et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 27989354); and this variant is listed as likely pathogenic in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/186574/). At this time, the clinical significance of the c.2848C>T (p.Leu950Phe) variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
