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 cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1502 of the ATM protein (p.Cys1502Phe). 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: 216217). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on ATM 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.

This missense variant replaces cysteine with phenylalanine at codon 1502 of the ATM protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on 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: 28779002, 33471991). In an international breast cancer case-control meta-analysis, this variant was detected in 5/60466 cases and 2/53461 unaffected controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 1/251326 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.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.C1502F variant (also known as c.4505G>T), located in coding exon 29 of the ATM gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 4505. The cysteine at codon 1502 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant was identified in 1/1358 non-cancer control individuals in a study looking at cancer predisposition mutations in patients with cutaneous melanoma and a history of at least two additional non-cutaneous melanoma primary cancers (Pritchard AL et al. PLoS ONE, 2018 Apr;13:e0194098). This variant has also been reported in at least one subject in a study of 13087 breast cancer cases and 5488 control individuals in the UK (Decker B et al. J. Med. Genet., 2017 11;54:732-741) as well as in 2/5589 German BRCA1/2-negative probands with breast cancer (Hauke J et al. Cancer Med 2018 04;7(4):1349-1358). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.

Variant summary: ATM c.4505G>T (p.Cys1502Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251326 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4505G>T has been observed in individual(s) affected with Breast Cancer (Hauke_2018). 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 publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29522266). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216217). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

The ATM c.4505G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Cys1502Phe. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (Table S5, Decker B et al 2017. PubMed ID: 28779002; Table S2, Hauke et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29522266) . This variant has also been reported in a control individual in a melanoma case-control study (Table S3, Pritchard AL et al 2018. PubMed ID: 29641532). This variant is reported in 0.00088% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/11-108163414-G-T) and is interpreted as uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/216217/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.
