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]

C11orf65 (HGNC:28519): (chromosome 11 open reading frame 65) Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of mitochondrial fission and negative regulation of protein targeting to mitochondrion. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrial outer membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

This sequence change falls in intron 40 of the ATM gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the ATM protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with ATM-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 246116). Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This variant is denoted ATM c.6006+4_6006+5delAA or IVS40+4_IVS40+5delAA and consists of a deletion of two nucleotides at the +4 to +5 position in intron 40 of the ATM gene. The normal sequence with the bases that are deleted in braces is Ggta[aa]tatt, where the capital letters are exonic and lowercase are intronic. Multiple in silico models predict this variant to weaken or destroy the nearby natural donor site, and to possibly cause abnormal gene splicing. However, in the absence of RNA or functional studies, the actual effect of this variant is unknown. ATM c.6006+4_6006+5delAA was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. The nucleotides that are deleted are not conserved across species. Based on the currently available information, we consider ATM c.6006+4_6006+5delAA to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

This variant causes the deletion of two nucleotides in intron 40 of the ATM gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. To our knowledge, RNA studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with ATM-related disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified 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. -
