Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 0P and 0B.

The NM_000051.4(ATM):​c.7991_8010+8dupTCCCTACTATGGAAATTAAGGTAATTTG variant causes a intron change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★).

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]

C11orf65 (HGNC:28519): (chromosome 11 open reading frame 65) Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of mitochondrial fission and negative regulation of protein targeting to mitochondrion. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrial outer membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. 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. This sequence change duplicates the last 20 nucleotides of exon 54 and the first 8 nucleotides of intron 54 (c.7991_8010+8dup). This results in the insertion of 28 nucleotides in intron 54, which is not expected to change the encoded amino acid sequence of the ATM protein. However, it generates a duplicated 5' consensus splice site in the intron. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on mRNA splicing suggest that this variant does not alter RNA splicing at the original consensus splice site. However, it may alter RNA splicing through the duplicated consensus splice site. This prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.7991_8010+8DUP28 variant results from a duplication of 28 nucleotides between positions 7991 and 8010+8 and involves the canonical splice donor site after coding exon 53 of the ATM gene. The canonical splice donor site is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will result in the creation of a novel splice donor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
