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]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 3008 of the ATM protein (p.Arg3008Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs587782292, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) and/or breast cancer (PMID: 9872980, 10817650, 12552566, 30549301). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142187). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on ATM protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ATM function (PMID: 12552566, 15101044, 18573109). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.002%). While this variant results in missense change, protein truncation variants are a common disease-causing mechanism. Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 12552566 , 15101044 , 18573109). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.52; 3Cnet: 0.86). It has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least 2 similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 12552566 , 30549301 , 9872980). Different missense changes at the same codon (p.Arg3008His, p.Arg3008Leu, p.Arg3008Ser) have been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000141634 , VCV000806734 , VCV000822905). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect showing loss of ATM kinase activity (Angele et al., 2003; Austen et al., 2008; Barone et al., 2009); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in the heterozygous state in individuals with breast or prostate cancer in published literature (Aloraifi et al., 2015; Matejcic et al., 2020; Darst et al., 2021); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26354930, 29117359, 28580595, 29038235, 29625052, 19431188, 21792198, 21933854, 15101044, 22529920, 16014569, 23585524, 18573109, 16189143, 10817650, 22649200, 27479817, 27542854, 21459046, 25480502, 9872980, 26681312, 29482223, 28767289, 30549301, 32866655, 23532176, 34687117, 32980694, 32853339, 32832836, 26094658, 26896183, 29922827, 12552566) -

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in at least one individual with clinical features associated with this gene. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. This variant abolishes the protein's kinase activity (PMID: 19431188, 18573109). In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. Computational tools predict that this variant is damaging. The variant is located in a region that is considered important for protein function and/or structure. -

The ATM p.Arg3008Cys variant was identified in 3 of 1508 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from individuals or families with AtaxiaTelangiectasia and CLL (Navrkalova 2013, Reiman 2011, Skowronska 2012). The variant was also identified in ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by Ambry genetics, GeneDx, Invitae; classified as likely pathogenic by Counsyl), Cosmic (classified as pathogenic), MutDB, and ATM-LOVD databases. The variant was not identified in Genesight-COGR, and LOVD 3.0 databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 4 of 246188 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000016 in the following populations: African in 1 of 15304 chromosomes (freq. 0.00006), East Asian in 1 of 17244 chromosomes (freq. 0.00006), European (Non-Finnish) in 2 of 111646 chromosomes (freq. 0.00002), but not seen in Ashkenazi Jewish, European (Finnish), Latino, South Asian or other populations increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017)". The p.Arg3008 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms, and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. The variant is located with the Phosphatidylinositol 3-/4-kinase, catalytic functional domain increasing the likelihood that it may have clinical significance. In addition, several studies reported the expressed R3008C mutant ATM protein showed absence of ATM kinase activity, and strongly suggest that the 9022C>T (R3008C) missense mutation is the disease causing mutation (Angele 2003, Austen 2008,). The Taylor (2005) identified this variant in homozygous state with total absence of ATM kinase activity, although the amount of ATM protein expressed was about half that of normal cells. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

The p.R3008C pathogenic mutation (also known as c.9022C>T) is located in coding exon 62 of the ATM gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 9022. The arginine at codon 3008 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant has been reported both in trans with pathogenic splice site mutations and also homozygous in a patient with classic ataxia-telangiectasia (Hacia J et al. Genome Res. 1998 Dec; 8(12):1245-58; Li A and Swift M. Am J Hum Genet. 2000 May 29; 92(3):170-7; Angele S et al. Hum Mutat. 2003 Feb; 21(2):169-70). A study of 104 Irish cases of hereditary breast cancer identified this alteration in one case (Aloraifi F et al., FEBS J. 2015 Sep; 282(17):3424-37). This alteration was also identified in one individual diagnosed with breast cancer in a study of 10030 consecutive patients referred for evaluation by an NGS hereditary cancer panel (Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med., 2016 Aug;18:823-32). This alteration impacts a highly-conserved residue in the ATM kinase domain and functional studies of this alteration have demonstrated complete loss of kinase activity both in vitro and in vivo (Angele S et al. Hum Mutat. 2003 Feb; 21(2):169-70). In addition, p.R3008C has been associated with reduced ATM protein levels, radiosensitivity levels similar to truncating mutations, and interference with endogenous ATM protein (Gutierrez-Enriquez S et al. Genes Chromosomes Cancer. 2004 Jun; 40(2):109-19; Barone G et al. Hum Mutat. 2009 Aug; 30(8):1222-30). Another missense alteration at this codon (p.R3008H) has been described as a likely deleterious allele detected in 1/122 familial breast cancer cases, 0/186 healthy control samples (Paglia L et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2010 Jan; 119(2):443-52). 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 supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 3008 of the ATM protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function. Functional studies have reported the variant protein to be defective in ATM kinase activity and cellular response to ionizing radiation exposure (PMID: 12552566, 18573109, 19431188). This variant has been observed in homozygous and compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with ataxia-telangiectasia (PMID: 9872980, 10817650, 12552566, 18573109, 21459046, 21792198). This variant also has been observed in three individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 26681312, 30128536) and another individual at high-risk for breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 26094658). This variant has been identified in 4/251428 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.9022C>T variant in ATM is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by cysteine at amino acid 3008 (p.Arg3008Cys). This variant has been detected in at least 5 individuals with Ataxia-Telangiectasia (PMID: 12552566, 18573109, 25122203, 26896183, 30549301). Additionally, experimental studies showed that this variant impacts ATM kinase activity and radiosensitivity compared to wild type (PMID: 19431188). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00006 in the African/African American population (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant ATM-related cancer predisposition and autosomal recessive Ataxia-Telangiectasia based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the HBOP Variant Curation Expert Panel.
