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]

The STK11 p.Glu351_Asp352dup variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the dbSNP, Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, Insight Hereditary Tumors Database, databases. The variant was identified in ClinVar (classified uncertain significance by GeneDx), Clinvitae (1x), and in control databases in 1 of 241680 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017) in the European (Non-Finnish) population in 1 of 109618 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009), while not observed in the African, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish), Latino, Other, and South Asian populations. This variant is an in-frame deletion resulting in the insertion of 2 residues (a glutamic acid (Glu) and aspartic (Asp) residue) at codon 352; the impact of this alteration on STK11 protein function is not known. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

The c.1051_1056dupGAGGAC variant (also known as p.E351_D352dup), located in coding exon 8 of the STK11 gene, results from an in-frame duplication of GAGGAC at nucleotide positions 1051 to 1056. This results in the duplication of 2 extra residues (ED) between codons 351 and 352. This amino acid region is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be neutral by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This variant, c.1051_1056dup, results in the insertion of 2 amino acid(s) of the STK11 protein (p.Glu351_Asp352dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 422813). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
