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]

The p.H1258N variant (also known as c.3772C>A), located in coding exon 25 of the ATM gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 3772. The histidine at codon 1258 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was also detected on a 25-gene panel test in a woman of African ancestry who was diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50 (Tung N et al, 2015 Jan;121:25-33). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1258 of the ATM protein (p.His1258Asn). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 25186627). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142817). 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The ATM c.3772C>A (p.His1258Asn) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with breast cancer who also carried other DNA variants in different genes (PMIDs: 25186627 (2015), 32885271 (2021)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

KCCC/NGS Laboratory, Kuwait Cancer Control Center
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

A variant of uncertain significance was detected in the ATM gene (c.3772C>A). This sequence change replaces histidine with asparagine at codon 1258 of the ATM protein (p.His1258Asn). The histidine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between histidine and asparagine. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with ATM-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142817) with 7 submissions, all of which describe this variant as of uncertain significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: Deleterious; PolyPhen-2: Benign; Align-GVGD: Class C0). Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Heterozygous pathogenic/likely pathogenic mutations in the ATM cause susceptibility to breast cancer (OMIM# 114480). -

The ATM p.His1258Asn variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the LOVD 3.0 database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs587782741) as "With uncertain significance allele" and in ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, Ambry Genetics, GeneDx and Color). The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016) or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The p.His1258 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of 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. -
