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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1427 of the ATM protein (p.Ala1427Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs2229021, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer (PMID: 17333338, 19781682, 34326862, 35047863, 35666082). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141884). 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. -

This variant has been reported in the literature in individuals with breast cancer (Hirsch 2008, Tavtigian 2009). This variant has an overall allele frequency of 0.00003 in the Broad Institute gnomAD Browser (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). In silico analyses indicate that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. Thus, it is unknown at this time whether this variant increases cancer risk. BP4 -

The p.A1427T variant (also known as c.4279G>A), located in coding exon 28 of the ATM gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4279. The alanine at codon 1427 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been detected in 1/4112 breast cancer patients and 0/2399 healthy control individuals across numerous studies (Tavtigian S et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2009 Oct;85:427-46). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: ATM c.4279G>A (p.Ala1427Thr) 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 was detected at a frequency of 4.3e-05 in 1611184 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in ATM causing Breast Cancer (4.3e-05 vs 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant was also found in in 2/2559 African American women over the age of 70 without cancer in the FLOSSIES database. c.4279G>A has been reported in the literature in settings of multi-gene panel testing in individuals affected with cancers including, prostate, kidney, ovarian, gastric, womb, melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, or with personal or family history of breast cancer, all without evidence of causality (e.g. Hirsch_2008, Giri_2022, deOliveira_2022, vanderMerwe_2022, Ricciuti_2023). 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. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 17333338, 35666082, 37097610, 35534704, 36568162). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141884). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
