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]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 7 of the ATM gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs748840480, gnomAD 0.01%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with ATM-related conditions (PMID: 8321536, 12815592, 21665257, 28281021, 31206626). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186761). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 7, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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

Variant summary: ATM c.901+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Five predict the variant abolishes a 5 splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.8e-05 in 271632 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.901+1G>A, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Ataxia-Telangiectasia (Mitui_2003, Micol_2011, Du_2008) and one ovarian cancer (Crawford_2017) where it was found together with the pathogenic variant PALB2 c.2167_2168delAT (p.Met723fsX21). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

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

The c.901+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 6 of the ATM gene. This alteration was identified in conjunction with a truncating ATM mutation in an individual diagnosed with ataxia-telangiectasia (Mitui M et al. Hum. Mutat. 2003 Jul;22(1):43-50). This alteration was also reported in a male diagnosed with breast cancer and an individual diagnosed with ovarian cancer (Pritzlaff M et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2017 02;161(3):575-586; Crawford B et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2017 Jun;163(2):383-390). This alteration is also known as IVS9+1G>A in published literature. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -

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

This variant causes a G to A nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 7 of the ATM gene. This variant is also known as IVS9+1G>A in the literature. Functional studies using patient-derived lymphoblastoid cells showed skipping of exon 7 and premature protein termination (PMID: 18321536). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with ataxia-telangiectasia (PMID: 12815592, 18321536). This variant also has been reported in an individual affected with male breast cancer (PMID: 28008555). This variant has been identified in 5/276176 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of ATM function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
