Genes affected
STK11 (HGNC:11389): (serine/threonine kinase 11) The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates cell polarity and energy metabolism and functions as a tumor suppressor. Mutations in this gene have been associated with the autosomal dominant Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, as well as with skin, pancreatic, and testicular cancers. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

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

The p.R39L variant (also known as c.116G>T), located in coding exon 1 of the STK11 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 116. The arginine at codon 39 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. 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 available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

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

The missense variant NM_000455.5(STK11):c.116G>T (p.Arg39Leu) has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. There is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and leucine. The gene STK11 has a low rate of benign missense variation as indicated by a high missense variants Z-Score of 1.49. The p.Arg39Leu missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The arginine residue at codon 39 of STK11 is conserved in all mammalian species. The nucleotide c.116 in STK11 is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance -

Significance: Uncertain significance

This missense variant replaces arginine with leucine at codon 39 of the STK11 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer in the literature (PMID: 29496690) and in an individual with a diagnosis of Cowden syndrome and a frameshift mutation in exon 1 of PTEN (c.17_18delAA; PMID: 29496690). This variant has been identified in 2/248072 chromosomes 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. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 39 of the STK11 protein (p.Arg39Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs786203250, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 29496690). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186826). 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) has been performed at Invitae 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 STK11 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. -

Variant summary: STK11 c.116G>T (p.Arg39Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.1e-06 in 245434 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.116G>T, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast Cancer (Tung_2014) and as a somatic event in Colorectal Cancer patients (Betge_2015). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
