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]

This missense variant replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 211 of the STK11 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with STK11-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 8/254382 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.

The STK11 c.631C>T (p.Arg211Trp) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with ovarian cancer (PMID: 34326862 (2021)), pancreatic cancer, and gastric cancer (PMID: 35171259 (2022)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000053 (6/114018 chromosomes in European (Non-Finnish) subpopulation (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

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

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 211 of the STK11 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, gastric cancer, and ovarian cancer (PMID: 34326862, 35171259). This variant has been identified in 8/254382 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.

Variant summary: STK11 c.631C>T (p.Arg211Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Protein kinase domain (IPR000719) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.1e-05 in 223032 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.631C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ovarian cancer and gastric cancer without strong evidence of causality (Bhai_2021, Yin_2021). These reports 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. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 35171259, 34326862). Eight submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified it as uncertain significance (n=7) or likely benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.
