Ataxia-telangiectasia syndrome Pathogenic:2
Variant summary: ATM c.496+3A>G alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant weakens a 5' donor site. One predicts the variant no significant impact on splicing. Internal evidence shows that this variant affects mRNA splicing in at least 2 samples, resulting in an in frame skipping of exon 5 (Labcorp, formerly Invitae). To our knowledge, there are no likely pathogenic/pathogenic non-NMD variants reported within the deleted zone, however a different variant with an identical RNA splicing effect has been classified as likely pathogenic/pathogenic by Labcorp (c.496+5G>A), suggesting that loss of this exon is deleterious. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251310 control chromosomes. To our knowledge, c.496+3A>G has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ATM-related conditions however the different variant at this c. position, c.496+5G>A resulting in an identical exon 5 skipping event was reported in the presumed compound heterozygous state in individual(s) affected with clinical features of ataxia-telangiectasia (PMID: 15054841, 19535770). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with ATM-related conditions. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33479248, 15054841, 19535770). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229974). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
This sequence change falls in intron 5 of the ATM gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the ATM protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ATM-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229974). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exon 5, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (Invitae). Other variant(s) that result in skipping of exon 5 have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15054841; Invitae). This suggests that this variant may also be clinically significant and likely to be disease-causing. 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. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
This variant causes an A to G nucleotide substitution at the +3 position of intron 5 of the ATM gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/282724 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. -
The c.496+3A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution 3 nucleotides after coding exon 4 in the ATM gene. This nucleotide position is well 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). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
