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]

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 120 of the STK11 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with STK11-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/249088 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

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

This variant is present in population databases (rs775595174, gnomAD 0.007%). 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. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on STK11 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 490165). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with STK11-related conditions. This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 120 of the STK11 protein (p.Glu120Lys). -

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

The STK11 c.358G>A (p.Glu120Lys) variant has been reported in the published literature in in individuals with biliary tract cancer (PMID: 36243179 (2022)). This variant has also been identified in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 36243179 (2022), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/STK11)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/249088 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
May 29, 2024
Ambry Genetics
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.E120K variant (also known as c.358G>A), located in coding exon 2 of the STK11 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 358. The glutamic acid at codon 120 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

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

Variant summary: STK11 c.358G>A (p.Glu120Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Protein kinase domain (IPR000719) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 249088 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.358G>A in individuals affected with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
