Publications (1)
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, 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.
Clinical Statement
This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (2 clinical laboratories) and as Likely benign (1 clinical laboratories).

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific) VCEP Guidelines
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the PVS1 rule is: "Use ATM PVS1 Decision Tree Modification Type: Gene-specific,Strength". The evidence for this variant shows that Q3000E is a missense change and does not create a null allele. Therefore, PVS1 is not applied.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the PS1 rule is: "Strong Strength: Strong Use for protein changes as long as splicing is ruled-out for both alterations. Use ATM PS1 Splicing table for splicing variants with similar predictions or observations of splice defect. Modification Type: General recommendation". The evidence shows no previously established pathogenic variant resulting in Q3000E. Therefore, PS1 is not applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the PS2 rule is: "De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history". The evidence for this variant shows no de novo data are available. Therefore, PS2 is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the PS3 rule is: "Moderate Strength: Moderate Use when a variant fails to rescue both an ATM specific feature (e.g. phosphorylation of ATM-specific targets) AND radiosensitivity. Modification Type: Gene-specific,Strength". The evidence shows that no functional studies have been performed for Q3000E. Therefore, PS3 is not applied.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the PS4 rule is: "Case-control studies; p-value ≤.05 AND (Odds ratio, hazard ratio, or relative risk ≥2 OR lower 95% CI ≥1.5)". The evidence for this variant shows no case-control data. Therefore, PS4 is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the PM1 rule is: "Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical functional domain without benign variation". The evidence shows Q3000 is not in a known mutational hotspot or critical domain. Therefore, PM1 is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the PM2 rule is: "Supporting Strength: Supporting Frequency ≤.001% if n=1 in a single sub population, that is sufficiently rare and PM2_supporting would apply". The evidence for this variant shows it is absent from gnomAD and other population databases. Therefore, PM2 is applied at Supporting strength.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the PM3 rule is: "Very Strong Strength: Very Strong Use ATM PM3/BP2 table. Modification Type: Disease-specific,General recommendation,Gene-specific,Strength". The evidence for this variant shows no information on allele phase or recessive inheritance in trans with a pathogenic variant. Therefore, PM3 is not applied.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the PM4 rule is: "Protein length changes due to in‐frame deletions/insertions in a non-repeat region". The evidence shows Q3000E does not change protein length. Therefore, PM4 is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the PM5 rule is: "Supporting Strength: Supporting Use for genomic frameshift and truncating variants with PTC upstream of p.R3047...". The evidence shows Q3000E is a missense change with no other pathogenic missense at the same residue. Therefore, PM5 is not applied.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the PM6 rule is: "Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity". The evidence for this variant shows no de novo data. Therefore, PM6 is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the PP1 rule is: "Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members". The evidence shows no segregation data. Therefore, PP1 is not applied.
PP2
PP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the PP2 rule is: "Missense variant in a gene with a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease". The evidence shows ATM has both LOF and missense pathogenic variants and tolerance to some missense. Therefore, PP2 is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the PP3 rule is: "Supporting Strength: Supporting Protein: REVEL >.7333; RNA: At least one well-established in silico predictor (e.g. SpliceAI) shows impact on splicing". The evidence shows benign or mixed computational predictions and SpliceAI score 0.03. Therefore, PP3 is not applied.
