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 variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

This alteration is classified as 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. -

The STK11 p.Phe354Leu variant was identified in 20 of 1472 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.014) from Korean, Japanese, Chinese and American individuals or families with Peutz-Jeghers disease, and Finnish, Korean, (French) Canadian, Portuguese, Italian, American individuals with CRC, high risk breast cancer, hereditary diffuse gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, and medullary thyroid cancer; and was identified in 5 of 824 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.006) from healthy individuals (Yang 2010, Yajima 2013, Liu 2012, Huang 2015, Amos 2003, Launonen 2000, Guenard 2010, Hansford 2015, Jordan 2016, Simbolo 2014 ). Segregation of the variant with disease was not seen in 2 healthy family members of the PJ affected proband (Liu 2012), or an affected (breast cancer) family member of another proband (Guenard 2010). In a case report of a 76 year old female with papillary thyroid cancer with no clinical manifestations of PJ, the variant was identified to co-occur with a BRAF mutation (p.V600E, c.1799T>A) in the tumour (Shuanzeng 2016). In another study, the variant was identified in 2 Chinese patients with sporadic PJS, co-occurring with separate pathogenic STK11 mutations (del(exon1) and c.890G > A) (Tan 2017). Functional assays of the STK11 exons 8 and 9, localized to the C-terminal non-catalytic region, have shown that mutations within this region neither disrupt STK11 activity nor interfere with STK11 induced growth arrest, but do lessen STK11-mediated activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and downstream signaling (Forcet 2005). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs59912467) “With Likely benign, other allele”, Clinvar (classified as conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity: benign by GeneDx, Invitae, Ambry Genetics, Prevention Genetics, Counsyl, Laboratory for Molecular Medicine (Partners for HealthCare Personalized Medicine), Vantari Genetics, Color Genomics Inc; likely benign by Illumina; uncertain significance by Foundation Medicine Inc, OMIM, Pathway Genomics; and unclassified by ITMI), Clinvitae (4X), Cosmic 41X in tumours of the brain, breast, lung, large intestine, salivary gland and malignant melanoma), LOVD 3.0 (3X), Zhejiang Colon Cancer database (11X, all in combination with other multiple STK11 variants, including pathogenic variants: c.842delC, p.Pro281ArgfsX6/c.996G>A, p.Trp332X/c.465-1G>T); and was not identified in the Insight Hereditary Tumors Database. The variant was identified in control databases in 1363 (17 homozygous) of 273698 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.005 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017), being identified in the following population at a frequency greater than 1%: East Asian in 658 (15 homozygous) of 18796 chromosomes (freq: 0.035). The p.Phe354 residue is conserved in in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out 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. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign -
