Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
This variant causes a G>A nucleotide substitution at the -1 position of intron 14 of the ATM gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. The variant is predicted to abolish the splice acceptor site and activate a cryptic splice acceptor site 19 basepairs downstream, and analysis of RNA from ataxia telangiectasia patient cell lines supports this prediction (PMID: 8808599). This variant has been reported as compound heterozygous in individuals affected with ataxia telangiectasia in the literature (PMID: 8808599, 9872980). This variant has not been identified 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 Likely Pathogenic. -
The c.2251-1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 14 of the ATM gene. This variant has been identified in an individual diagnosed with ataxia telangiectasia (Wright J et al. Am J Hum Genet, 1996 Oct;59:839-46; Hacia JG et al. Genome Res, 1998 Dec;8:1245-58). 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 acceptor site and may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor 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. -
Ataxia-telangiectasia syndrome Pathogenic:1
Variant summary: ATM c.2251-1G>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: two predict the variant abolishes a 3 prime acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 250502 control chromosomes. c.2251-1G>A has been reported in the literature in primary cell lines derived from individuals affected with Ataxia-Telangiectasia (example: Hacia_1998, Carlessi_2014). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating potential impact on cellular function, where neurons derived from AT patient fibroblasts had deficient neuronal maturation and transynaptic function, impaired double strand DNA damage repair, and resistance to apoptosis from specific agents when compared to neurons derived from control fibroblasts. However, since the authors used two different AT fibroblast donors and did not specify which cells were used for each assay, this does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect. One ClinVar submitter has assessed the variant since 2014: the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
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. mRNA analysis has demonstrated abnormal mRNA splicing occurs [Myriad internal data, PMID: 8808599, 9872980]. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with clinical features of gene-specific disease [PMID: 8808599, 9872980]. -
