Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points: 0P and 13B. BP4_StrongBP6BS1BS2

The NM_000455.5(STK11):​c.1071G>T​(p.Glu357Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000054 in 1,611,940 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Uncertain significance in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E357K) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

This variant is considered benign. Homozygosity has been confirmed in one or more individuals. As homozygosity for pathogenic variants in this gene is generally assumed to result in embryonic lethality, this variant is unlikely to be pathogenic. This variant has been observed at a population frequency that is significantly greater than expected given the associated disease prevalence and penetrance. -

Variant summary: STK11 c.1071G>T (p.Glu357Asp) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00013 in 245186 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.001 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 160 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in STK11 causing Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome phenotype (6.3e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of South Asian origin. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34326862). Seven submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as benign/likely benign (n=6) and VUS (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

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. -

This alteration is classified as 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. -

The STK11 p.Glu357Asp variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, Zhejiang University Database, or Insight Hereditary Tumors, databases. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs556651007) as "With Uncertain significance allele", and in ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Invitae and uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics). The variant was identified in control databases in 30 of 242974 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.0001 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the South Asian population in 30 of 30492 chromosomes (freq: 0.00098), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, European, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, and Finnish, populations. The p.Glu357 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
