Description
The ATM p.Tyr741Cys variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in Cosmic or LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs878853492) and ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Ambry Genetics and Color and classified as a VUS by Invitae, GeneDx and Integrated Genetics). The variant was also identified in control databases in 4 of 282608 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000014 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: East Asian in 2 of 19902 chromosomes (freq: 0.000101) and European (non-Finnish) in 2 of 129084 chromosomes (freq: 0.000015), while the variant was not observed in the African, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, European (Finnish), Other or South Asian populations. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence however 3 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE) predict the creation of a new 5' splice site. The p.Tyr741 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out 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.
