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]

The STK11 c.992G>A (p.Arg331Gln) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.0075% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 30287823). In addition, four individuals with this variant are reported in a database of women older than 70 years of age who have never had cancer (FLOSSIES, https://whi.color.com/). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. 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. -

Variant summary: STK11 c.992G>A (p.Arg331Gln) 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 4.8e-05 in 231544 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 8 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in STK11 causing Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome phenotype (6.3e-06), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.992G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with colorectal cancer (Yurgelun_2017) and breast and/or ovarian cancer (Krivokuca_2022, and Momozawa_2018); however, authors classified the variant as VUS. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported (MLH1 c.1852_1854del, p.K618del), providing supporting evidence for a benign role (Yurgelun_2017). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as VUS (n=7) and likely benign (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

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. -
