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 replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 13 of the ATM protein (p.Arg13Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs141586345, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 10677309, 17393301, 19781682, 35534704). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 185977). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt ATM protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). 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. -

The p.R13C variant (also known as c.37C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the ATM gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 37. The arginine at codon 13 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been identified in multiple breast cancer cohorts, as well as, in controls (Broeks A et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2008 Jan;107(2):243-8; Momozawa Y et al. Nat Commun. 2018 10;9:4083; Abdel-Razeq H et al. Front Oncol, 2022 Mar;12:673094). This alteration has also been reported with a carrier frequency of 0.00065 in 7,636 unselected prostate cancer patients and 0.00008 in 12,366 male controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. J Natl Cancer Inst, 2020 04;112:369-376). Additionally, this alteration was reported in a cohort of patients diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (Ohmoto A et al. J Gastroenterol. 2018 Oct;53:1159-1167). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 13 of the ATM protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. The variant has been observed in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 17393301, 19781682, 33471991, 35402282), in an individual with personal or family history of pancreatic cancer (PMID: 29667044), and in multiple unaffected individuals (PMID: 30287823, 33471991). This variant has been identified in 5/251386 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. -

The missense variant NM_000051.4(ATM):c.37C>T (p.Arg13Cys) has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. There is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. The gene ATM has a low rate of benign missense variation as indicated by a high missense variants Z-Score of 2.52. The gene ATM contains 171 pathogenic missense variants, indicating that missense variants are a common mechanism of disease in this gene. The p.Arg13Cys missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The nucleotide c.37 in ATM is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance -

Variant summary: ATM c.37C>T (p.Arg13Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Telomere-length maintenance and DNA damage repair domain (IPR021668) 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 2.6e-05 in 303338 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publications). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.37C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (Ohmoto_2018, te Raa_2015, Tavtigian_2009, Broeks_2008). These reports however, do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Breast Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five other ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
