Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Feb 11, 2019 | This alteration is classified as likely 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. - |

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Jan 16, 2023 | Variant summary: ATM c.334G>A (p.Ala112Thr) 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 damaging effect of the variant on protein function. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00021 in 250408 control chromosomes (gnomAD, Hirsch_2008), predominantly at a frequency of 0.0028 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 3 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in ATM causing Breast Cancer phenotype (0.001), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. The variant has also been found in 13/2559 (carrier freq=0.00508) African American women over the age of 70 without history of cancer (FLOSSIES dataset). c.334G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast Cancer, Lynch Syndrome, endometrial carcinoma, cerebellar ataxia, primary ovarian insufficiency and PDAC (examples: Tung_2014, Yurgelun_2015, Ring_2016, Coutelier_2018, Mullins_2019, Weitzel_2019, Franca_2020, Zimmermann_2021), but it was also reported in healthy controls (examples: Hirsch_2008, Weitzel_2019). These reports 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. Ten ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: five classified the variant as uncertain significance, three as likely benign, and two as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. - |

ATM-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences | May 03, 2024 | The ATM c.334G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala112Thr. This variant has been reported in two individuals with breast cancer (Tung et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25186627; Mullins and Gupta. 2019. PubMed ID: 31719806), in an individual with endometrial cancer (Ring et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27443514, Table S2), an individual with primary ovarian insufficiency (França et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33095795), and in at least two individuals undergoing Lynch syndrome genetic testing (Yorczyk et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25318351, Table 2; Yurgelun et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25980754, Table S2). It has also been reported in controls from breast cancer cohort studies (Hirsch et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17333338; Tavtigian et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19781682. Table S2). This variant is reported in 0.27% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD, which is significantly more common than other known disease-causing ATM variants. In ClinVar, this variant has conflicting interpretations of benign, likely benign, and uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/127370/). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. - |
Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System | - | The ATM p.Ala112Thr variant was identified in 4 of 17948 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0002) from individuals or families with breast cancer or Lynch syndrome and was present in 2 of 4988 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.0004) from healthy individuals (Haiman 2013, Hirsch 2008, Ring 2016, Tavtigian 2009, Yorczyk 2015, Yurgelun 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs146382972) as "With other allele", ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Invitae and Ambry Genetics; as uncertain significance by GeneDx and five other submitters), and MutDB. The variant was not identified in COGR, Cosmic, or LOVD 3.0 databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 74 of 276196 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0003 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 66 of 23976 chromosomes (freq: 0.003), Other in 1 of 6434 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), and Latino in 7 of 34316 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), while the variant was not observed in the European, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Ala112 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of 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, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. - |
