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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: STK11 c.920+5G>A alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.9e-05 in 205340 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. 920+5G>A has been reported in the literature in one individual without clinical information (Gordon_2019) and in another individual undergoing surveillance for prostate cancer (Brady_2022). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Nine ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: eight classified the variant as uncertain significance and one as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

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

The c.920+5G>A variant in STK11 has not been previously reported in individuals with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, but has been identified in 1/2138 of African chromo somes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs587780013). This variant is located in the 5' splice region. Although n ucleotide substitutions at +5 position of the intron are relatively common cause s of aberrant splicing, computational tools do not suggest an impact to splicing . However, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the c.920+5G>A variant is uncertain. -

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

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); In-silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, is inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; Observed in at least one individual with an unspecified cancer (Mandelker 2017); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31422818, 27535533, 28873162) -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant causes a G to A nucleotide substitution at the +5 position of intron 7 of the STK11 gene. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. However, this prediction has not been confirmed in published RNA studies. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with prostate cancer (PMID: 35467778). This variant has been identified in 4/205340 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. -

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:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The STK11 c.920+5G>A variant is predicted to interfere with splicing. This variant has been reported in an individual without clinical information, an individual with low-risk prostate cancer, and an individual with breast cancer (Supplement, Gordon et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31422818; Brady et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35467778; Guindalini et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35264596). This variant is reported in 0.022% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. It has conflicting interpretations of likely benign and uncertain significance (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/127709/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
