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]

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis suggests that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with a personal or family history of breast, colorectal, prostate, and other cancers, as well as in unaffected control groups (PMID: 27978560, 29641532, 31784482, 33471991, 34262154, 34326862, 40950448); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27150160, 27978560, 31784482, 29641532, 30306255, 34262154, 33471991, 34326862, 36315919, 40950448, 39541563)

The p.M1760V variant (also known as c.5278A>G), located in coding exon 34 of the ATM gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 5278. The methionine at codon 1760 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was identified in 1/57 cases and in 0/1358 non-cancer control individuals, in a study looking at cancer predisposition mutations in patients with cutaneous melanoma and a history of at least two additional non-cutaneous melanoma primary cancers. This individual had a personal history of cutaneous melanoma, prostate cancer, and lymphoma (Pritchard AL et al. PLoS One, 2018 Apr;13:e0194098). This alteration has also been identified in an individual from a North American cohort of individuals with early onset colon cancer (Pearlman R et al. JAMA Oncol, 2017 Apr;3:464-471). In another study, this variant was reported in 3/60,466 breast cancer cases as well as 3/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). 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 methionine with valine at codon 1760 of the ATM protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. In a large international case-control study, this variant was reported in 3/60466 breast cancer cases and 3/53461 controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with cancer of the cecum and melanoma (PMID: 27978560, 34262154). This variant has been identified in 6/282536 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.

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1760 of the ATM protein (p.Met1760Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs151327241, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colon cancer, melanoma, and breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 27978560, 30306255, 31784482, 34262154). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 233341). 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%. 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.

Variant summary: ATM c.5278A>G (p.Met1760Val) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251146 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.5278A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals with personal or family history of Breast Cancer and other tumor phenotypes (Pearlman_2016, Ritterhouse_2016, Bonache_2018, Lerner-Ellis_2020, Dalmasso_2021, Dorling_2021), however it was also reported in 1/2559 African American women, older than 70 years who have never had cancer (in the FLOSSIES database). 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. Eight ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: all submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

The ATM p.Met1760Val variant was identified in 1 of 900 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0011) from individuals or families with colon cancer (Pearlman 2016). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs151327241) as “With Uncertain significance allele”, ClinVar (as uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics, Invitae, and GeneDx), and Clinvitae (as uncertain significance). The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB, and LOVD 3.0 databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 4 of 276862 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000014 in the following population: European (Non-Finnish) in 4 of 426406 chromosomes (freq. 0.00003), increasing the likelihood that this may be a low frequency benign variant in certain populations of origin (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). The p.Met1760Val residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; 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, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. The variant is located with the Armadillo-type fold functional domain(s) increasing the likelihood that it may have clinical significance. 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.
