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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Dec 05, 2023	This missense variant replaces tryptophan with arginine at codon 2960 of the ATM protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with ATM-related disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified 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 submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Nov 11, 2016	The p.W2960R variant (also known as c.8878T>C), located in coding exon 61 of the ATM gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 8878. The tryptophan at codon 2960 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6499 samples (12998 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.0005% (greater than 180000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. The variant is located within the PI3 kinase catalytic domain, and this amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2960 of the ATM protein (p.Trp2960Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ATM-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 420846). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ATM protein function. 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. -

This variant is denoted ATM c.8878T>C at the cDNA level, p.Trp2960Arg (W2960R) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Tryptophan to an Arginine (TGG>CGG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. ATM Trp2960Arg was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Tryptophan and Arginine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. ATM Trp2960Arg occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located in the PI3-PI4 kinase domain (Tavtigian 2009, Stracker 2013). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether ATM Trp2960Arg is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
