GeneDx RCV000586056 SCV000149108 uncertain significance not provided 2018-01-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is denoted ATM c.4709T>C at the cDNA level, p.Val1570Ala (V1570A) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Valine to an Alanine (GTT>GCT). This variant has been reported in several individuals with breast cancer, one with prostate cancer, and at least one with advanced cancer of unspecified type, as well as in an individual with a personal history of a Lynch syndrome-related cancer and/or polyps (Izatt 1999, Dork 2001, Pugh 2009, Tavtigian 2009, Yurgelun 2015, Maxwell, 2016, Tung 2016, Mandelker 2017). In one family, the variant was identified in both a proband with early onset breast cancer and her mother, who also had a history of breast cancer (Izatt 1999). ATM Val1570Ala was observed at an allele frequency of 0.07% (91/126,354) in individuals of European ancestry in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is not located in a known functional domain. In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether ATM Val1570Ala is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance.

Ambry Genetics RCV000115199 SCV000183787 likely benign Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2018-09-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000212021 SCV000694289 benign not specified 2022-10-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: ATM c.4709T>C (p.Val1570Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00041 in 251524 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00072 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in ATM causing Breast Cancer (0.00041 vs 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.4709T>C has been reported in the literature as a VUS/likely benign variant in settings of multigene panel testing on individuals affected with various cancer phenotypes (e.g. Izatt, 1999, Dork_2001, Gumy-Pause_2006, Bernstein_2010, Haiman_2013, Maxwell_2016, Grasel_2020, Bandeira_2021) without strong evidence for causality. One of these studies reported this variant within settings of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the normal allele in a family where it did not clearly segregate with cancer (Grasel_2020). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Ataxia-Telangiectasia/ATM-related cancers. At-least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant(s) have been observed at our laboratory (BRCA2 c.9097dupA, p.Thr3033fsX11), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (benign/likely benign, n=7; VUS, n=10). Some submitters cite overlapping but not identical evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. At-least one submitter reports a non-specified co-occurrence with mutation in same gene (phase unknown) as a basis of their likely benign classification. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV000122851 SCV001264585 uncertain significance Ataxia-telangiectasia syndrome 2017-04-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV001354496 SCV001549128 uncertain significance Malignant tumor of breast no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The ATM p.Val1570Ala variant was identified in 7 of 12586 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0005) from U.S., Canadian, German and British individuals or families with breast cancer, Lynch syndrome or prostate cancer and was not identified in 4998 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Tavtigian 2009, Tung 2016, Izzat 2009, Dork 2001, Yurgelin 2015, Pugh 2009). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs140856217) as “With Uncertain significance allele”, ClinVar and Clinvitae (1x classified as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, 2x uncertain significance by GeneDx and Invitae). The variant was not identified in the COGR, COSMIC, MutDB, or the LOVD 3.0 databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 112 of 276738 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0004 in the following populations: European non-Finnish 91 of 126354 chromosomes (freq. 0.0007); “Other” in 3 of 6464 chromosomes (freq. 0.0005); Latino in 15 of 34400 chromosomes (freq. 0.0004); European Finnish in 2 of 25720 chromosomes (freq. 0.00008); African in 1 of 24028 chromosomes (freq. 0.00004) (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). This variant was found in one British individual with: two separate primary early-onset breast cancers, segregation with one family member with breast cancer (mother), loss of heterozygosity for ATM and neighbouring loci in tumour DNA, and sensitivity reaction to radiotherapy, however the authors conclude that this may represent a rare polymorphism because the residue is not conserved in mouse and they did not perceive that the variant was found in a functional domain (Izzat 2009). The p.Val1570Ala residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance.
