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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.0098135425 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.6, offset of 4, new splice context is: gaaGTatgc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-108259077-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-108259077-T-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 453415.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 16 of the ATM gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with ATM-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in ATM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25614872, 23807571). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.2466+2T>G intronic variant results from a T to G substitution two nucleotides after coding exon 15 in the ATM gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to result in aberrant splicing. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. A resulting transcript is predicted to be in-frame and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay; although, direct evidence is unavailable. However, the region predicted to be impacted is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). Other variant(s) impacting the same donor site (c.2466+1delG) have been identified in individual(s) with features consistent with ATM-related cancer predisposition (Ambry internal data).This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.
