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]

The ATM c.3925G>A; p.Ala1309Thr variant (rs149711770) is reported in the literature in individuals affected with various cancers, but without clear disease association (Broeks 2008, Dominguez-Valentin 2018, Momozawa 2018, Xie 2018). This variant is also reported in equal numbers of cases and controls (Tavtigian 2009, Yu 2021), and in at least one family in which the variant did not segregate with disease (Wang 2019). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 127377), and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.069% (194/282624 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Computational analyses predict that this variant is neutral (REVEL: 0.076). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be benign. -

The ATM c.3925G>A (p.Ala1309Thr) missense variant has a frequency of 0.0006864 (194 of 282,624 alleles) in gnomAD v2.1.1 with a maximum frequency of 0.001209 (156 of 129,002) in the European non-Finnish subpopulation (BS1_Supporting, https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The most frequent known pathogenic variants in this gene occur at maximal subpopulation frequencies of 0.05%, 0.039%, and 0.033%. Five of seven in silico tools predict a benign effect of this variant on protein function (BP4; https://pecan.stjude.cloud/variant/8471). This variant has been observed in several patients with breast cancer (PMID: 26976419, 17393301, 20305132) and Lynch syndrome (PMID: 25980754). However, case control studies indicate that the variant is observed in equal frequencies in control individuals, suggesting that the variant is not likely to be associated with disease (PMID: 30287823, 19781682, 21787400). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely benign based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: BS1_Supporting, BP4. -

Variant summary: ATM c.3925G>A (p.Ala1309Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in 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 0.00069 in 282624 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0012 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.2 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency (MPAF) for a pathogenic variant in ATM causing Breast Cancer phenotype (0.001). In addition, in certain European subpopulations the variant was observed with an even higher occurrence, e.g. in the North-western European control population it occurred with a frequency of 0.0019, strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. Additionally, the variant was reported in 17/ 2559 European American women (i.e. with an allele frequency of 0.0015), who were older than age 70, and have never had cancer (in the FLOSSIES database); the allele frequency in this cohort is 1.5-fold higher than the MPAF (0.001), further supporting a benign role for the variant. The variant, c.3925G>A, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Breast Cancer and other tumor phenotypes (without strong evidence for causality), and was also reported in controls, including a Swiss, non-cancer related cohort, where the variant was observed with an allele frequency of 0.005 (Kraemer_2019). In a large case-control study combined with meta-analysis, the variant was not associated with an increased risk for breast cancer (Tavtigian_2009). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. 15 other submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant in ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as VUS (7x), likely benign (5x) or benign (3x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

This variant is considered benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. This variant has been observed at a population frequency that is significantly greater than expected given the associated disease prevalence and penetrance. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:1
Mar 09, 2018
Pittsburgh Clinical Genomics Laboratory, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:flagged submission
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence variant is a single nucleotide substitution (G>A) that results in an alanine to threonine amino acid change at residue 1309 in the ATM protein. The variant is found at a frequency of 0.0062 (75/120390 alleles) in the Exome Aggregation Consortium database, with highest frequency among non-Finnish Europeans (0.00091, 61/66688 alleles). This residue (Ala1309) is not well conserved and is not found in a protein functional domain. In silico computational tools are inconclusive in their predictions on effects on protein structure and function. In a breast cancer case-control study (PMID: 19781682), the variant was found in 3/2531 cases and 3/2245 controls. These data indicate that this variant is not likely to be associated with disease, as it is found in equal frequencies in case and control populations. However, there is insufficient evidence to conclusively rule out any disease association. Thus, we consider this to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

The ATM p.Ala1309Thr variant was identified in 15 of 138364 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0001) from individuals or families with breast cancer and was present in 3 of 30056 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.0001) from healthy individuals (Broeks 2008, Tavtigian 2009, Balmana 2016, Bernstein 2010, Goldgar 2011, Momozawa 2018, Tung 2016, Young 2016). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs149711770) as "With other allele", ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Invitae, GeneDx, Ambry Genetics and five other submitters; and as uncertain significance by four submitters), and in LOVD 3.0 (3x as likely benign). The variant was identified in control databases in 191 of 276962 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0007 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European in 156 of 126510 chromosomes (freq: 0.001), African in 9 of 24028 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004), Other in 3 of 6460 chromosomes (freq: 0.0005), Latino in 6 of 34408 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), East Asian in 15 of 18852 chromosomes (freq: 0.0008), Finnish in 2 of 25780 chromosomes (freq: 0.00008); it was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish or South Asian populations. This variant was identified by our laboratory in a patient with a co-occurring pathogenic BRIP1 variant (c.133G>T, p.Glu45*), increasing the likelihood that the ATM p.Ala1309Thr variant does not have clinical significance. The p.Ala1309 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five 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 the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
