Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 0P and 3B. BP4_ModerateBP6

The NM_000051.4(ATM):​c.1960C>A​(p.Gln654Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000211 in 1,613,870 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Q654P) has been classified 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]

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, and cancer of unknown primary as well as unaffected controls (Maillet et al., 2002; Tavtigian et al., 2009; Petereit et al., 2013; Tung et al., 2016; Decker et al., 2017; Tiao et al., 2017; Yurgelun et al., 2017; Darst et al., 2021; Dorling et al., 2021); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28135145, 28652578, 19781682, 12362033, 24416720, 26976419, 28779002, 28717660, 32853339, 33471991) -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -

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

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 654 of the ATM protein (p.Gln654Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs528165789, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or prostate cancer (PMID: 12362033, 19781682, 24416720, 26976419, 28135145, 32853339, 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 135739). 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. -

The ATM p.Gln654Lys variant was identified in 4 of 3680 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families with breast or colon cancer and was not identified in 280 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Maillet 2002, Petereit 2013, Tung 2016, Yurgelun 2017). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs528165789) as "With Pathogenic, Uncertain significance allele", and in ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, Ambry Genetics, and GeneDx). The variant was not identified in LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in control databases in 7 of 246108 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00003 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European in 5 of 111600 chromosomes (freq: 0.00005), and South Asian in 2 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.00007); it was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, or Finnish populations. The p.Gln654 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

The ATM:c.1960C>A (p.Gln654Lys) variant is a rare missense substitution located in exon 15 of the ATM gene, involving a moderately conserved residue and situated outside the main functional domains of the protein. Bioinformatic analyses support a neutral or minimal impact on protein function. -
