Genes affected
STK11 (HGNC:11389): (serine/threonine kinase 11) The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates cell polarity and energy metabolism and functions as a tumor suppressor. Mutations in this gene have been associated with the autosomal dominant Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, as well as with skin, pancreatic, and testicular cancers. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

This variant is denoted STK11 c.894C>A at the cDNA level, p.Phe298Leu (F298L) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Phenylalanine to a Leucine (TTC>TTA). This variant has been observed in at least one individual with a personal history of a Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (Yurgelun 2015). STK11 Phe298Leu was observed with an allele frequency of 0.2% (6/3904) in African Americans in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project and an allele frequency of 0.3% (4/1322) in the African populations in 1000 Genomes. Since Phenylalanine and Leucine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. STK11 Phe298Leu occurs at a position where amino acids with properties similar to Phenylalanine are tolerated across species and is located in the protein kinase domain (UniProt). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether STK11 Phe298Leu is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

The p.Phe298Leu variant in STK11 has been reported in 2 individuals with suspected Lynch Syndrome (PMID: 25980754), in the homozygous state in a cervical cancer tumor (PMID: 19340305), and in a primary pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, cervical cancer tumor, and metastatic pituitary adenoma (PMID: 23893923, 24652667, 27615706). This variant has also been identified in 0.2677% (49/18302) of African chromosomes in individuals without cancer, 0.01403% (4/28506) of Latino chromosomes, and 0.001096% (1/91266) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs199681533). This variant has been reported in ClinVar as a VUS and likely benign variant (Variation ID: 127707). Computational prediction tools, including splice predictors, and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely benign. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BS1, BP4 (Richards 2015). -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Variant summary: STK11 c.894C>A (p.Phe298Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Serine/Threonine kinase LKB1, catalytic domain of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The observed variant frequency is approximately 43.52 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in STK11 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer phenotype (6.3e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. In addition, this variant has been reported in 21/2559 (0.0082) African American women who are cancer free and older than age 70 (Flossies). c.894C>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with different type of cancer (Yurgelun_2015, Young_2013, Haiman_2013, Tung_2015). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with HBOC. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (BRCA1 c.3475dupA, p.Ile1159fsX6; BRCA1 c.4327C>T, p.Arg1443X), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (2 likely benign, 4 VUS). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to rule this variant out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. -

The STK11 variant designated as NM_000455.4:c.894C>A (p.Phe298Leu) is classified as likely benign. This variant is listed in population databases and is found in approximately 1 out of 1800 individuals in the population and in 1 out of 200 individuals of African ancestry, which is a higher frequency than expected for a pathogenic STK11 variant (Kobayashi et al, 2017, PMID:28166811). Based on in silico software predictions, this variant is predicted to be tolerated (SIFT, PolyPhen-2). This variant is in ClinVar (Variation ID: 127707) and has been classified as likely benign by three commercial laboratories. Bayesian analysis integrating all of this data (Tavtigian et al, 2018, PMID:29300386) gives a less than 1% probability of pathogenicity, which is consistent with a classification of likely benign. This variant is not predicted to alter STK11 function or modify risk for the clinical features of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. A modest (less than 2 fold) increase in risk due to this variant cannot be entirely excluded. This analysis was performed in conjunction with the family studies project as part of the University of Washington Find My Variant Study. -

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. -
