ATM: PM1, PM2, PVS1:Moderate -
The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant is expected to interfere with initiation of protein synthesis. This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with clinical features associated with this gene, including both ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) and cancer patients (PMID: 12552559, 28779002, 28767289, 31285527). -

Initiation codon variant in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Observed in the compound heterozygous state in individuals with ataxia telangiectasia (Buzin et al., 2003); Observed in individuals with breast and pancreatic cancer (Decker et al., 2017; Shindo et al., 2017; Hutchings et al., 2019; Dorling et al., 2021); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28779002, 28767289, 21681852, 29625052, 12552559, 35483985, 33471991, 35047863, 32427313, 31285527, 29922827) -
This variant disrupts the translation initiation codon of the ATM mRNA and is predicted to interfere with ATM protein synthesis. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000062 (1/16252 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in one individual with pancreatic cancer (PMIDs:28767289 (2017) and 31285527 (2019)), and two individuals with breast cancer (PMID:28779002 (2017)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Variant summary: ATM c.3G>A (p.Met1Ile) alters the initiation codon and is predicted to result either in absence of the protein or truncation of the encoded protein due to translation initiation at a downstream codon. An alternative downstream in-frame start codon (Met94) is located in the encoded protein. An activation of potential downstream translation initiation site would result in a shortened protein missing the first 93 amino acids from the protein sequence, part of the telomere-length maintenance and DNA damage repair domain (IPR021668). Two of four in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251388 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3G>A has been reported in the literature in the compound heterozygous state in individuals affected with Ataxia-Telangiectasia (e.g. Buzin_2003). The variant has also been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, endometrial cancer, and bladder urothelial carcinoma (Decker_2017, Shindo_2017, Huang_2018, Hutchings_2019, Dorling_2021, Yu_2022, Karpel_2022). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Functional studies on other ATM variants affecting the initiation codon (c.1A>G, c.2T>C) have demonstrated the potential of translation initiation from a downstream AUG codon resulting in a truncated protein. The resulting ATM protein was expressed at low levels and lacked ATM kinase activity (PMIDs: 22146522, 21792198). Nine submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All laboratories classified the variant as either pathogenic (n=7) or likely pathogenic (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the ATM mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 94. This variant is present in population databases (rs781404312, gnomAD 0.007%). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individuals with ataxia-telangiectasia (PMID: 8845835, 9463314, 12552559, 21792198, 22649200). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188901). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3
The p.M1? pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3G>A) is located in coding exon 1 of the ATM gene and results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3. This alters the methionine residue at the initiation codon (ATG). This mutation has been detected in conjunction with a second ATM mutation in two patients with ataxia telangiectasia (Buzin CH et al. Hum. Mutat. 2003 Feb; 21(2):123-31). It was also identified in 2/13087 breast cancer cases and 0/5488 control individuals in the UK as well as a familial pancreatic cancer kindred in the US (Decker B et al. J. Med. Genet. 2017 Nov;54:732-741; Shindo K et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2017 Oct;35:3382-3390). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, sequence variations that modify the initiation codon are expected to result in either loss of translation initiation, N-terminal truncation, or cause a shift in the mRNA reading frame. Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
This variant results in the loss of the translation start codon (methionine at codon 1) of the ATM gene. This variant is expected to disrupt the expression of the full-length ATM protein. The next in-frame methionine occurs at codon 94, but it has not been shown if a functional ATM protein product can be produced using p.Met94 as an alternative translation start site. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with ataxia-telangiectasia, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 12552559, 28767289, 28779002). This variant has been identified in 1/251388 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant is located within the gene translation start codon (p.Met1?) and is predicted to result in abnormal protein translation. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with clinical features of gene-specific disease [PMID: 21665257, 9463314, 21792198, 12552559, 22649200, 22146522, 30549301]. -
