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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.7, offset of 13, new splice context is: tccttattgatattgaccAGagt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-108365324-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-108365324-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 653848.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

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. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site and strengthen a cryptic acceptor site in exon 63, located 13 nucleotides downstream of the natural splice site. Additionally, an experimental study has reported that disruption of this splice site (c.8988-1G>C) results in the loss of 13 nucleotides from exon 63, causing a frameshift at codon 2996 (p.Ser2996Argfs*6) (PMID: 10330348). Disruption of this splice site has been observed to be homozygous or on the opposite chromosome (in trans) from a pathogenic variant in individuals affected with ataxia-telangiectasia (PMID: 27664052, 12815592). This finding is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance, and suggests that this variant contributes to disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 185326). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in the last intron (intron 62) of the ATM gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it likely alters RNA splicing and results in a disrupted protein product. -
