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]

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.

In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in an individual with ataxia telangiectasia, co-occurring with unspecified biallelic ATM variants, as well as in individuals with breast cancer (Jeddane 2013, Decker 2017); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23322442, 24325359, 28873162, 28779002, 30287823)

The ATM p.Asn1081Ser variant was identified in 4 of 14140 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0003) from Moroccan individuals or families with Ataxia-Telangiectasia and Japanese individuals or families with breast cancer, and was present in 2 of 22482 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.00009) from healthy individuals (Jeddane 2013, Momozawa 2018). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs368111672) as "With Uncertain significance allele", and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, Ambry Genetics, GeneDx, Fulgent Genetics and Integrated Genetics; and likley benign by Color), and LOVD 3.0 (3x as benign). The variant was identified in control databases in 50 of 276988 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0002 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 1 of 24026 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), Latino in 3 of 34416 chromosomes (freq: 0.00009), European Non-Finnish in 5 of 126520 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), and South Asian in 41 of 30780 chromosomes (freq: 0.001) while not observed in the Other, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, or Finnish populations. The p.Asn1081 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood that the variant impacts the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 2 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) 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.

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: ATM c.3242A>G (p.Asn1081Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00019 in 251266 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0013 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.3 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in ATM causing Breast Cancer phenotype (0.001). c.3242A>G has been reported in the literature as with clinical significance assessments ranging from Benign/polymorphism to VUS in unaffected controls and affected individuals in settings of multigene panel testing (example, Jeddane_2012, Momozawa_2018, Fujita_2020, Weitzel_2019). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Breast Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23322442, 24325359, 31206626, 33309985). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142046). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
