Invitae | RCV000458854 | SCV000546742 | uncertain significance | Ataxia-telangiectasia syndrome | 2018-03-22 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with glycine at codon 841 of the ATM protein (p.Asp841Gly). The aspartic acid residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and glycine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a ATM-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141518). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). The glycine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may alter RNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, this variant is a rare missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. There is no indication that it causes disease, but the available evidence is currently insufficient to prove that conclusively. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
