Genes affected
ATRX (HGNC:886): (ATRX chromatin remodeler) The protein encoded by this gene contains an ATPase/helicase domain, and thus it belongs to the SWI/SNF family of chromatin remodeling proteins. This protein is found to undergo cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation, which regulates its nuclear matrix and chromatin association, and suggests its involvement in the gene regulation at interphase and chromosomal segregation in mitosis. Mutations in this gene are associated with X-linked syndromes exhibiting cognitive disabilities as well as alpha-thalassemia (ATRX) syndrome. These mutations have been shown to cause diverse changes in the pattern of DNA methylation, which may provide a link between chromatin remodeling, DNA methylation, and gene expression in developmental processes. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

The ATRX p.Asn1822Ser variant was identified in the literature as a heterozygous variant in a mother and daughter with familial brain tumors; both patients also carried a TP53 variant known to cause Li Fraumeni syndrome (Nordfors_2018_PMID:29602769). The variant was also identified in 1 family with ATR-X syndrome, however the variant was suggested to have uncertain significance (Gibbons_1995_PMID:7697714). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs45439799) and ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae, Ambry Genetics and three other clinical laboratories, classified as likely benign by Equipe Genetique des Anomalies du Developpement Université de Bourgogne, and classified as pathogenic by Tampere Brain Tumor Research Consortium University of Tampere). The variant was identified in control databases in 1371 of 205163 chromosomes (2 homozygous; 539 hemizygous) at a frequency of 0.006682 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: European (non-Finnish) in 196 of 18551 chromosomes (freq: 0.01057), African in 947 of 92618 chromosomes (freq: 0.01022), Latino in 77 of 7663 chromosomes (freq: 0.01005), Ashkenazi Jewish in 37 of 5322 chromosomes (freq: 0.006952), South Asian in 57 of 19074 chromosomes (freq: 0.002988), European (Finnish) in 35 of 28028 chromosomes (freq: 0.001249) and Other in 22 of 19044 chromosomes (freq: 0.001155), but was not observed in the East Asian population. The p.Asn1822 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign.

Variant summary: ATRX c.5579A>G (p.Asn1860Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the SNF2, N-terminal domain (IPR000330) of 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 0.0065 in 183291 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.01 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 9 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in ATRX causing ATR-X Syndrome phenotype (0.0011), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Nine ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as benign (n=8) and likely benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.

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.
