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 sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 344 of the STK11 protein (p.Leu344Pro). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colon polyps (PMID: 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 219493). 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 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.

This missense variant replaces leucine with proline at codon 344 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). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant ha been reported in individuals affected with melanoma (PMID: 29641532). This variant has been identified in 3/274340 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.

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

The p.L344P variant (also known as c.1031T>C), located in coding exon 8 of the STK11 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1031. The leucine at codon 344 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been detected in multiple individuals with no reported features of STK11-associated disease (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.
