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]

C11orf65 (HGNC:28519): (chromosome 11 open reading frame 65) Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of mitochondrial fission and negative regulation of protein targeting to mitochondrion. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrial outer membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-108320017-CAG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-108320017-CAG-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 218278.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is also known as 6412delAG. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 218278). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu2139Ilefs*6) in the ATM gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ATM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23807571, 25614872). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ataxia telangiectasia (PMID: 8755918). -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.6415_6416delGA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 43 of the ATM gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 6415 to 6416, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E2139Ifs*6). This alteration has been reported in a compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) (McConville CM et al, Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1996 Aug; 59(2):320-30; Stankovic T et al, Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1998 Feb; 62(2):334-45; Watters D et al, Oncogene 1997 Apr; 14(16):1911-21). Of note, this alteration is also designated as c.6412_ 6414delAG in published literature. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
