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]

C11orf65 (HGNC:28519): (chromosome 11 open reading frame 65) Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of mitochondrial fission and negative regulation of protein targeting to mitochondrion. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrial outer membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.013084724 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-108321421-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-108321421-G-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 960501.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes a G to T nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 45 of the ATM gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. A different variant occurring at the same position, c.6572+1G>A, is known to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 127426). Although, to our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant, it is expected to result in aberrant splicing and absent/abnormal protein product. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with brain cancer (PMID: 25877891). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of ATM function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.6572+1G>T intronic variant results from a G to T substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 44 of the ATM gene. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 45 of the ATM gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has been observed in an individual affected with brain cancer (PMID: 25877891) and an individual with clinical features of ataxia telangiectasia (PMID: 29141312). Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in ATM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23807571, 25614872). -
