Description
Variant summary: ATM c.1607+1G>T 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: Three predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. One publication reported that the variant resulted in intron retention in a patient derived lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL), which had the variant in homozygous state (Teraoka_1999). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250010 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1607+1G>T has been reported in the literature in homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Ataxia-Telangiectasia (e.g. Teraoka_1999, Chessa_2009, Prodosmo_2013). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Publications reported the lack of ATM protein on western-blot of cells derived from homozygous patients (Teraoka_1999, Prodosmo_2013). Six submitters, including an expert panel (ClinGen), have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant in ClinVar after 2014, and classified the variant as pathogenic (n=5, including the ClinGen Expert panel) or likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
