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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 03, 2024This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 62 of the ATM gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely disrupts the C-terminus of the protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary cancer syndrome and ataxia-telangiectasia (PMID: 10330348, 31159747). This variant is also known as IVS64-1G>C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 181987). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a new termination codon (PMID: 10330348; Invitae). However the mRNA is not expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. This variant disrupts a region of the ATM protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg3047*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8755918, 10980530, 18560558, 19431188, 19691550, 26628246). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 12, 2023The c.8988-1G>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 62 of the ATM gene. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of the ATM gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 61 amino acids of the protein. The exact functional effect of this alteration is unknown; however, the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This alteration has been detected in both the homozygous and compound heterozygous state with another ATM mutation in multiple individuals with a diagnosis of ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) (Teraoka SN et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1999 Jun;64:1617-31; Mitui M et al. Hum. Mutat. 2003 Jul;22:43-50; Carranza D et al. Neuromolecular Med. 2017 Mar;19:161-174). This alteration was found to abolish the native acceptor site in coding intron 61 and activate a cryptic splice site resulting in a frameshift deletion of 13 nucleotides (Teraoka SN et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1999 Jun;64:1617-31). A colony survival assay showed intermediate radiosensitivity of cells that harbor this mutation and a Western blot analyses looking at the expression of ATM in nuclear lysates of long-term primary T cells showed absence of the protein in cells that harbor this mutation (Carranza D et al. Neuromolecular Med. 2017 Mar;19:161-174). Of note, this alteration is also designated as IVS64-1G>C in published literature. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneKor MSAJan 01, 2020This variation occurs 1 base before exon 63 of the ATM gene in a position is highly conserved in the human and other genomes which is crucial for mRNA processing. This mutation is expected to result in incorrect splicing and removal of the entire exon in the resulting protein. This variant has been described in the international literature in association with ataxia-telangiectasia (Am J Hum Genet. 1999, 64:1617-31). The mutation database ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 181987). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthJul 30, 2021This variant causes a G to C nucleotide substitution at the -1 position of intron 62 of the ATM gene. This variant is also known as IVS64-1G>C in the literature. An RNA study has reported that this variant causes the deletion of the first 13 nucleotides of exon 63, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal in the last coding exon (PMID: 10330348). The mutation transcript is expected to disrupt the C-terminus of the TP53 binding domain and the FATC domain of the ATM protein. This variant has been reported in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state with an additional pathogenic ATM variant in individuals affected with ataxia telangiectasia (PMID: 27664052, 30338439). This variant has also been reported in another individual affected with ataxia telangiectasia with an unknown second mutation (PMID: 10330348). 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. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:2
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Feb 06, 2024This 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. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 23, 2016The c.8988-1G>C variant in the ATM gene has been reported previously in association with ataxia-telangiectasia (Teraoka et al., 1999). This splice site mutation destroys the canonical splice acceptor site in intron 62. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing due to the activation of a cryptic acceptor splice site, leading to the truncation of 13 nucleotides (Teraoka et al., 1999). The c.8988-1G>C variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Therefore, we interpret c.8988-1G>C as a pathogenic variant. -
