Genes affected
STK11 (HGNC:11389): (serine/threonine kinase 11) The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates cell polarity and energy metabolism and functions as a tumor suppressor. Mutations in this gene have been associated with the autosomal dominant Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, as well as with skin, pancreatic, and testicular cancers. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

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

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Variant summary: STK11 c.1038C>T alters a conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Five predict the variant creates a 5' donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.3e-05 in 1611152 control chromosomes (gnomAD database v4). The observed variant frequency is approximately 7 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in STK11 causing Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome phenotype (6.3e-06). c.1038C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast Cancer (Guindalini_2022) without evidence for causality. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome. 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: 26010451). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184026). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Significance: Likely benign

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: clinical testing

The STK11 c.1038C>T variant is not predicted to result in an amino acid change (p.=). Based on available splicing prediction programs (Alamut Visual Plus v1.6.1) this variant is predicted to create a cryptic splice donor site; however, to date this prediction has not been proven by functional studies. This variant has been observed once in a cohort of individuals who underwent genetic counseling for risk assessment of breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancer and reported as benign/likely benign (Table 1, Carvalho et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 36977404). It is observed at an allele frequency of up to ~0.0033% in a large population database and has conflicting interpretations of benign, likely benign and uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/184026/). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
