The NM_000051.4(ATM):c.2158C>T(p.Arg720Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000497 in 1,609,330 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 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 Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R720S) has been classified as Likely benign.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 720 of the ATM 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 breast cancer (PMID: 19781682, 33471991), an individual with prostate cancer (PMID: 31214711), and individuals without cancer (PMID: 30287823, 31214711, 32980694, 33471991). This variant has been identified in 4/251022 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 p.R720C variant (also known as c.2158C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the ATM gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2158. The arginine at codon 720 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast cancer (Tavtigian SV et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2009 Oct;85:427-46; Hauke J et al. Cancer Med, 2018 04;7:1349-1358; Lerner-Ellis J et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol. 2021 147, 871–879). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Ataxia-telangiectasia syndrome Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 720 of the ATM protein (p.Arg720Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs565622131, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or prostate cancer (PMID: 19781682, 31214711). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 407475). 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) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt ATM protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -

Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
The ATM p.Arg720Cys variant was identified in 1 of 8224 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0001) from individuals or families with breast cancer and was not identified in 4792 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Tavtigian 2009). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs565622131) “With Uncertain significance allele”, ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, GeneDx and Ambry Genetics) and LOVD 3.0 (3x). The variant was also identified in control databases in 4 of 245874 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00002 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the following populations: African in 2 of 15296 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), Latino in 1 of 33536 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003) and European Non-Finnish in 1 of 111552 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009); it was not observed in the Other, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Arg720Cys residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, 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) do not predict a difference in splicing. 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. -
