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]

This sequence change falls in intron 18 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 may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). 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: 232661). 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 18 , and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). 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. -

Variant summary: ATM c.2838+4A>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. Two predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. Internal RNA splicing evidence found that this variant affects mRNA splicing in at least 1 individual, resulting in out of frame skipping of exon 18, which is expected to result in nonsense mediated decay (Labcorp, formerly Invitae). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251224 control chromosomes. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.2838+4A>G in individuals affected with Ataxia-Telangiectasia has been reported in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232661). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

The c.2838+4A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution 4 nucleotides after coding exon 17 in the ATM gene. 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). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

RNA studies demonstrate a damaging effect: aberrant splicing resulting in exon skipping and a predicted null allele (External communication with Ambry Genetics and Invitae); Observed with a second ATM variant in a patient with ataxia telangiectasia but it is not known whether the variants occurred on the same (in cis) or on different (in trans) chromosomes (Villagaray-Pacheco N. 8-years experience with ataxia telangiectasia: A series of 7 cases. Ro J Neurol., 2021); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports a deleterious effect on splicing; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: Villagaray-Pacheco2021[article]) -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The ATM c.2838+4A>G variant is predicted to interfere with splicing. This variant is predicted to disrupt splicing at a consensus splice site based on splicing prediction programs (Alamut Visual Plus v.1.6.1). However, these prediction programs are not equivalent to functional evidence. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0062% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/11-108139340-A-G) and has been interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/232661). Of note, other variants impacting the c.2838 consensus splice site (c.2838G>T, c.2838+1G>A, and c.2838+6T>C) have been documented in patients with breast cancer (Patient MK1C in Table S1, Hamameh et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28486781), ataxia telangiectasia (referred to as IVS18+1G>A in Buzin et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12552559), and dystonia (Patient IS-DYS-094 in Suppl. Table 2, Zech et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33098801), respectively. At this time, the clinical significance of the c.2838+4A>G variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
