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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser160Alafs*23) in the ATM gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ATM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23807571, 25614872). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 26270727). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 185501). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: ATM c.478_482delTCTCA (p.Ser160AlafsX23) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251342 control chromosomes. c.478_482delTCTCA has been reported in the literature as a presumably compound heterozygous genotype in at-least one individual with Ataxia-Telangiectasia and as a carrier genotype in an individual with breast cancer (example, Izatt_1999, Desmond_2015). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight 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/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

DNA sequence analysis of the ATM gene demonstrated a five base pair deletion in exon 5, c.478_482del. This likely pathogenic sequence change results in an amino acid frameshift and creates a premature stop codon 22 amino acids downstream of the mutation, p.Ser160Alafs*23. This likely pathogenic sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated ATM protein with potentially abnormal function. The p.Ser160Alafs23* change has been identified in a patient referred for genetic testing for hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 26270727). The p.Ser160Alafs*23 change is reported in the gnomAD database in the heterozygous state in a single individual (dbSNP rs587780624). Truncating variants in the ATM gene have been observed in patients with breast cancer and in patients with ataxia. -

The c.478_482delTCTCA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the ATM gene, results from a deletion of 5 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 478 to 482, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S160Afs*23). This variant was reported in an individual with ataxia telangiectasia (A-T); a second ATM variant was not identified for this patient, but protein analysis showed severely reduced protein levels (Izatt L et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet. 1999 Apr;7:310-20). This variant has also been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other ATM variant(s) in individual(s) with features consistent with ataxia telangiectasia (Bakhtiar S et al. Front Immunol, 2018 Oct;9:2495). This variant was reported in 4/60466 breast cancer cases and in 0/53461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This variant deletes 5 nucleotides in exon 5 of the ATM gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals suspected of hereditary breast or ovarian cancer and an individual with ataxia-telangiectasia in the literature (PMID: 10234507, 26270727). This variant has been identified in 1/251342 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. -
