Variant summary: ATM c.3284+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: Three predict the variant abolishes a 5 splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 251026 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3284+1G>A has been reported in the literature in one homozygous individual affected with Ataxia-Telangiectasia (Micol_2011). 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 ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 219508). This variant is also known as IVS25+1G>A. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) (PMID: 21665257). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 22 of the ATM gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in ATM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23807571, 25614872). -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
The c.3284+1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution of one nucleotide after coding exon 21 of the ATM gene. In one study, this variant was reported in 3/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 0/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This alteration was identified homozygous in an individual with autosomal recessive ataxia-telangiectasia (Micol R et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol, 2011 Aug;128:382-9.e1). Of note, this alteration is also designated as "IVS25+1G>A" in published literature. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. 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 likely pathogenic. -
This variant causes a G>A nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 22 of the ATM gene. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. Although this prediction has not been confirmed in published RNA studies, this variant is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. In an international breast cancer case-control meta-analysis, this variant was detected in 3/60466 cases and absent in 53461 unaffected controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:1
This variant is denoted ATM c.3284+1G>A or IVS22+1G>A and consists of a G>A nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 22 of the ATM gene. This variant destroys a canonical splice donor site and is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, leading to either an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay or to an abnormal protein product. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as a pathogenic or benign germline variant. Based on the current evidence, we consider ATM 3284+1G>A to be a likely pathogenic variant. -
Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:1
This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. -
