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]

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces alanine with threonine at codon 241 of the STK11 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754). This variant has been identified in 2/241110 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: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.A241T variant (also known as c.721G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the STK11 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 721. The alanine at codon 241 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was observed with an allele frequency of 0 in 7,051 unselected female breast cancer patients and was observed with an allele frequency of 0.00009 in 11,241 female controls of Japanese ancestry. In addition, it was not observed in unselected male breast cancer patients and was observed with an allele frequency of 0.00008 in 12490 male controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. Nat Commun, 2018 10;9:4083). This variant has been detected in multiple individuals with no reported features of STK11-associated disease (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
