Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1 PM2

The ENST00000675843.1(ATM):​c.332-2_332delAGG​(p.Arg111fs) variant causes a frameshift, splice acceptor, splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000069 in 1,450,214 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 1/1 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R111R) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Aug 22, 2023	The c.332_334delGAG variant (also known as p.R111_A112delinsT) is located in coding exon 4 of the ATM gene. This variant results from an in-frame GAG deletion at nucleotide positions 332 to 334. The arginine and alanine at codons 111 and 112 are replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. However, this change occurs in the first base pair of coding exon 4, which means it may have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. This variant has been detected in conjunction with an ATM pathogenic variant in an individual diagnosed with ataxia-telangiectasia; however, the phase of the two variants was not specified (Sasaki T et al. Hum Mutat, 1998;12:186-95). In addition, it was reported that RNA studies demonstrated that this alteration caused abnormal splicing in the sample tested (Sasaki T et al. Hum Mutat, 1998;12:186-95). This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in an incomplete splice defect; the clinical impact of this abnormal splicing is unknown at this time (Ambry internal data). In addition, as a deletion-insertion the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This variant, c.332_334del, is a complex sequence change that results in the deletion of 2 amino acids and insertion of 1 amino acid(s) in the ATM protein (p.Arg111_Ala112delinsThr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ATM-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 407594). Studies have shown that this variant is associated with altered splicing resulting in multiple RNA products (Invitae). 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. -
