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

The ATM c.7618G>A p.(Val2540Ile) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.01% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The in silico tool REVEL is inconclusive about a pathogenic or benign effect of this variant on protein function, and to our knowledge functional studies have not been performed. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with ataxia telangiectasia. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 2540 of the ATM protein (p.Val2540Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs35203200, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with gastric cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, pancreatic cancer, melanoma, and colorectal cancer (PMID: 25186627, 26689913, 26976419, 27978560, 28591191, 28652578, 29360161, 33850299). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141579). 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. -

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

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

The ATM c.7618G>A; p.Val2540Ile variant (rs35203200) is reported in the literature in individuals with breast, ovarian, stomach, or colorectal cancer (Lu 2015, Pearlman 2017, Stafford, Tung 2016) but has also been reported in an unaffected control (Tavtigian 2009). This variant is classified as uncertain in ClinVar (Variation ID: 141579), and found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.005% (13/276580 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The valine at codon 2540 is moderately conserved, but computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is tolerated. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. REFERENCES Lu C et al.

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0001 (13/128932 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with breast/ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 29522266 (2018), 29360161 (2018), 28779002 (2017), 26976419 (2016), 25186627 (2015)), colorectal cancer (PMID: 27978560 (2016)), stomach cancer (PMID: 26689913 (2015)), lymphocytic leukemia (PMID: 28652578 (2017)), as well as in control individuals (PMIDs: 28779002 (2017), 19781682 (2009), 16832357 (2006)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

This missense variant replaces valine with isoleucine at codon 2540 of the ATM protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. An in vitro functional study suggests that this variant may reduce kinase activity, homology directed repair, and colony formation (PMID: 35354106). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer, ovarian cancer, rectal cancer, stomach adenocarcinoma, and dystonia, as well as in unaffected controls (PMID: 19781682, 25186627, 26689913, 26976419, 27978560, 28591191, 28779002, 29522266, 30303537, 31920950, 33471991). This variant has been identified in 14/282022 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. -

Variant summary: ATM c.7618G>A (p.Val2540Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the PIK-related kinase, FAT domain (IPR003151) of 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 4.8e-05 in 252044 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in ATM causing Ataxia-Telangiectasia (4.8e-05 vs 0.004), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.7618G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast cancer (e.g. Tung_2015, Tung_2016, Hauke_2018, Girard_2019), ovarian cancer (e.g. Stafford_2017), CLL (e.g. Tiao_2017), colorectal cancer (e.g. Pearlman_2016), and pancreatic cancer (e.g. Dudley_2018), but also in healthy controls (e.g. Renwick_2006, Tavtigian_2009). The variant has also been reported in an individual with dystonia (e.g. Pogoda_2019). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Ataxia-Telangiectasia. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. These laboratories cited the variant as uncertain significance (n=7) and likely benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The ATM c.7618G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val2540Ile. This variant has been reported in patients with colorectal cancer (eTable 2, Pearlman et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 27978560), breast cancer (Tung et al 2016. PubMed ID: 26976419), and ovarian cancer (Stafford et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28591191). However, this variant was also reported in a control individual in a breast cancer study (Table S2, Tavtigian et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19781682). This variant is reported in 0.010% of alleles in individuals of European (non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity in ClinVar, ranging from likely benign to uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/141579/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
