Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The ATM c.2930G>A (p.Cys977Tyr; p.C977Y) variant has been reported in ClinVar, where most submissions classify it as likely pathogenic, although at least one submission classifies it as uncertain significance.
2
This variant is very rare in population databases, with gnomAD v4.1 showing an allele frequency of 0.00025% (4/1,609,362 alleles) and gnomAD v2.1 showing 0.00340% (1/29,448 alleles), which is below the ATM PM2_Supporting threshold of 0.001%.
3
Computational evidence supports a damaging missense effect, with REVEL 0.778 above the ATM PP3 threshold of 0.7333 and BayesDel 0.318994, while SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.02.
Final determination:
No criteria-combination rule matched the adjudicated criteria in the Richards et.al., 2015 - Combining rules v1.5.0 framework, so the variant remains a Variant of Uncertain Significance pending human review.

ACMG/AMP criteria review
Criteria shown when status is available
All criteria require review: For research and educational purposes only.
| Criterion | Status | Rationale | Evidence used |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVS1 | Not met | This is a missense variant, not a predicted null variant, and the ATM PVS1 framework is intended for loss-of-function events. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score 0.02), so the available evidence does not support applying PVS1. |

|
| PS1 | Not assessed | ATM PS1 can be used for a missense change when a different nucleotide change is already established as pathogenic or likely pathogenic for the same amino acid substitution and splicing is ruled out. SpliceAI for this variant is low (max delta score 0.02), but no qualifying same-amino-acid pathogenic comparator was identified in the available evidence, so PS1 was not assessed. |

|
| PS2 | N/A | The ATM VCEP specification designates PS2 as not applicable for this framework. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | ATM PS3 requires variant-specific functional studies showing failure to rescue an ATM-specific feature, with stronger weight requiring failure to rescue both an ATM-specific feature and radiosensitivity. No qualifying variant-specific functional assay evidence was identified for this variant in the available curated sources, so PS3 was not assessed. |

|
| PS4 | Not assessed | ATM PS4 requires case-control evidence with p-value 0.05 or less and effect size at least 2. No qualifying case-control or enrichment data for this exact variant were identified in the available evidence, so PS4 was not assessed. |

| PM1 | N/A | The ATM VCEP specification designates PM1 as not applicable for this framework. |
cspec
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is very rare in population databases. In gnomAD v4.1 the total allele frequency is 0.00025% (4/1,609,362 alleles) and the highest observed subpopulation frequency is 0.00034%, both below the ATM PM2_Supporting threshold of 0.001%. |

|
| PM3 | Not assessed | ATM PM3 requires observations in trans with a pathogenic variant in individuals with ataxia-telangiectasia and scoring by the ATM PM3/BP2 point framework. No qualifying trans observations or point-based evidence were identified for this variant, so PM3 was not assessed. |
cspec

|
| PM4 | N/A | ATM applies PM4 to stop-loss variants. This is a missense variant, so PM4 is not applicable. |
cspec
|
| PM5 | N/A | For ATM, PM5 is a gene-specific truncation or splice-related rule rather than a classic same-residue missense rule. This missense variant does not fit the ATM PM5 rule, so PM5 is not applicable. |

| PM6 | N/A | The ATM VCEP specification designates PM6 as not applicable for this framework. |
cspec
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | ATM PP1 in this framework requires segregation in affected relatives for the recessive ataxia-telangiectasia phenotype. No segregation data were identified for this variant, so PP1 was not assessed. |

| PP2 | N/A | The ATM VCEP specification designates PP2 as not applicable for this framework. |
cspec
|
| PP3 | Met | Computational evidence supports a deleterious missense effect. The REVEL score is 0.778, which is above the ATM PP3 threshold of 0.7333, and BayesDel is 0.318994. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta score 0.02), so the supporting computational evidence is for missense effect rather than splice disruption. |

| BS3 | Not assessed | ATM BS3 requires variant-specific functional studies showing rescue of both an ATM-specific feature and radiosensitivity for moderate weight, or rescue of either for supporting weight. No qualifying benign functional rescue evidence was identified for this variant, so BS3 was not assessed. |

| BP2 | Not assessed | ATM BP2 requires co-occurrence or homozygosity evidence scored through the ATM PM3/BP2 framework in unaffected or non-ataxia-telangiectasia settings. No qualifying benign co-occurrence evidence was identified for this variant, so BP2 was not assessed. |
