Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 2P and 5B. PM2 BP4_Strong BP6

The NM_000051.4(ATM):​c.1670T>C​(p.Met557Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 17/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. M557V) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

ATM (HGNC:795): (ATM serine/threonine kinase) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family. This protein is an important cell cycle checkpoint kinase that phosphorylates; thus, it functions as a regulator of a wide variety of downstream proteins, including tumor suppressor proteins p53 and BRCA1, checkpoint kinase CHK2, checkpoint proteins RAD17 and RAD9, and DNA repair protein NBS1. This protein and the closely related kinase ATR are thought to be master controllers of cell cycle checkpoint signaling pathways that are required for cell response to DNA damage and for genome stability. Mutations in this gene are associated with ataxia telangiectasia, an autosomal recessive disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 557 of the ATM protein (p.Met557Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ATM-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186202). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The threonine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect 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.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted ATM c.1670T>C at the cDNA level, p.Met557Thr (M557T) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Methionine to a Threonine (ATG>ACG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. ATM Met557Thr was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Methionine and Threonine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. ATM Met557Thr occurs at a position that is poorly conserved across species, with Threonine being the naturally occurring amino acid at this position in several species, and is not located in a known functional domain (Tavtigian 2009). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether ATM Met557Thr is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:1

Ambry Genetics

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.
