This variant is denoted ATM c.4631A>G at the cDNA level, p.Tyr1544Cys (Y1544C) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Tyrosine to a Cysteine (TAC>TGC). This variant has been observed in individuals with breast or lung cancer, but has also been observed in a healthy control subject (Lu 2015, Decker 2017). ATM Tyr1544Cys was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is not located in a known functional domain. In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether ATM Tyr1544Cys is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

The ATM c.4631A>G; p.Tyr1544Cys variant (rs779718362) is reported in the literature in individuals with breast cancer (Edvardsen 2007, Tung 2015), and is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 245791). This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.003% (8/240752 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The tyrosine at codon 1544 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant may be deleterious. However, due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. REFERENCES Edvardsen H et al.

not specified Uncertain:2
Variant summary: ATM c.4631A>G (p.Tyr1544Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.3e-05 in 240942 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4631A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer, and individuals undergoing hereditary cancer testing without strong evidence for causality (e.g. Edvardsen_2007, Tung_2014, Schubert_2019, Mu_2016, Januskevicius_2023) . These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with ATM-related cancers. 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: 17623063, 36979741, 26689913, 27720647, 30426508, 25186627). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 245791). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Ataxia-telangiectasia syndrome Uncertain:2
This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1544 of the ATM protein (p.Tyr1544Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs779718362, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or lung cancer (PMID: 25186627, 26689913, 29522266, 30426508). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 245791). 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
This missense variant replaces tyrosine with cysteine at codon 1544 of the ATM protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 17623063, 25186627, 28779002, 29522266, 33471991). However, in two large breast cancer case-control studies, this variant has also been identified in control groups (PMID: 28779002, 33471991). In a case-control study conducted in the UK, this variant was reported in 1/13087 breast cancer cases and 1/5488 controls (PMID: 28779002). In an international case-control meta-analysis, this variant was reported in 2/60464 breast cancer cases and 11/53450 controls (OR=0.161, 95%CI 0.036 to 0.725, p-value=0.009; PMID: 33471991). This variant has also been reported in individuals affected with caecal adenocarcinoma (PMID: 3638722) and metastatic prostate cancer (PMID: 36979741). This variant has been identified in 8/240752 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), all of which were found in individuals of European (non-Finnish) ancestry (8/109334 chromosomes). 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.Y1544C variant (also known as c.4631A>G), located in coding exon 30 of the ATM gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 4631. The tyrosine at codon 1544 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been identified in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast cancer (Edvardsen H et al. Radiat Oncol, 2007 Jul;2:25; Tung N et al. Cancer, 2015 Jan;121:25-33; Hauke J et al. Cancer Med, 2018 04;7:1349-1358) and 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). 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. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:1Benign:1
This variant is considered likely benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. -

ATM-related disorder Uncertain:1
The ATM c.4631A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Tyr1544Cys. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast or lung cancer (Tung N et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25186627; Lu C et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26689913; Schubert S et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30426508; Hauke J et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29522266). This variant is reported in 0.0073% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is classified as uncertain significance in ClinVar with multiple submitters in agreement (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/245791/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
