Description
The ATM p.Ile709= variant was identified in 2 of 200 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.01) from individuals or families with Hodgkin Disease from Canadian and Japanese pediatric patients, and was not identified in 200 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Sipahimalani 2007, Takagi 2017). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs56252953) as “with uncertain significance, other allele”; in ClinVar and Clinvitae databases as benign by Invitae, GeneDx, as likely benign by Ambry Genetics and as uncertain significance by Illumina Clinical Services. In addition, the variant was identified in the 1000 Genomes Project in 8 of 5000 chromosomes (frequency: 0.002). The variant was identified in control databases in 354 (1 homozygous) of 275790 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.001 in the following populations: East Asian in 351of 18624 chromosomes (freq. 0.02), South Asian in 1 of 30600 chromosomes (freq. 0.00003), other in 2 of 6418 chromosomes (freq. 0.0003), but was not seen in African, Latino, European Non-Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, and European Finnish populations, increasing the likelihood that this may be a low frequency benign variant in certain populations of origin (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, ATM-LOVD, databases or in the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project. The p.Ile709Ile variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign.
