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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln268*) 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 present in population databases (rs557012154, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ataxia-telangiectasia (PMID: 10330348, 12552559). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188961). Studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Variant summary: ATM c.802C>T (p.Gln268X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.8e-06 in 255540 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.802C>T has been reported in the literature in compound heterozygous individuals affected with Ataxia-Telangiectasia (examples: Teraoka_1999, Buzin_2003 and Carranza_2017). These data indicate that the variant is associated with disease. Functional analysis using nested-PCR cDNAs of a cell line containing this variant showed missplicing of exon 9 (Teraoka_1999). The effect was the partial skipping of the exon. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

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

The p.Q268* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.802C>T), located in coding exon 6 of the ATM gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 802. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 6. This mutation has been previously identified in ataxia-telangiectasia patients (Teraoka SN et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1999 Jun;64:1617-31; Buzin CH et al. Hum. Mutat. 2003 Feb;21:123-31). 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.

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 7 of the ATM gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been observed in multiple individuals affected with autosomal recessive ataxia telangiectasia in the compound heterozygous state with a second pathogenic variant (PMID: 10330348, 12552559, 27664052, 35284771), indicating that this variant contributes to disease. This variant has been identified in 1/251050 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of ATM function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
