Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_000051.4:c.7486G>C (p.Gly2496Arg) is a missense variant in ATM exon 50.
2
This variant is extremely rare in population databases: present in gnomAD v4.1 at an allele frequency of 0.00037% (6/1,614,098 alleles, 0 homozygotes), meeting the VCEP threshold for PM2_Supporting.
3
Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest a benign effect: REVEL score is 0.189 (meeting the VCEP BP4 threshold of ≤0.249), BayesDel score is negative (-0.183511), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta 0.04). BP4_Supporting is applied.
4
The ATM VCEP supplementary in silico meta-predictor (Suppl_TableS1, PMID:40580951) classifies this variant as 'Functional' with High confidence (Combined score 0.962), consistent with the benign computational evidence.
5
This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance by three clinical laboratories (Variation ID: 569749).
6
PVS1, PS1, PM1, PM5, PM6, PS2, PP1, PP2, PP4, PP5, BS2, BS4, BP1, BP5, BP6, and BP7 are not applicable per ATM VCEP v1.5.0 specifications.
7
No variant-specific experimental functional studies, case-control data, or segregation data were identified for this variant.
8
Applying the ATM VCEP v1.5.0 classification framework: PM2_Supporting (1 pathogenic supporting point) and BP4_Supporting (1 benign supporting point). Per the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules (Rule 31), one pathogenic supporting criterion and one benign supporting criterion result in conflicting evidence, yielding an overall classification of Uncertain Significance.
Final determination:
Rule31 in the Richards et.al., 2015 - Combining rules v1.5.0 criteria-combination framework is satisfied by the adjudicated criteria, so the variant is classified as Uncertain Significance - Conflicting Evidence.
Criteria assessment
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 | N/A | PVS1 is applicable only to null variants (nonsense, frameshift, canonical splice sites, initiation codon, exon deletions). NM_000051.4:c.7486G>C is a missense variant (p.Gly2496Arg) and does not meet the variant-type prerequisites for PVS1 under the ATM VCEP PVS1 decision tree. |

|
| PS1 | Not met | PS1 requires a previously established pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant causing the same amino acid change. The only other variant at this residue yielding Gly2496Arg is NM_000051.4:c.7486G>A, which is classified as Uncertain significance in ClinVar and is not an established P/LP variant. No P/LP variant with the same amino acid change was identified. |

|
| PS2 | N/A | PS2 is not applicable per ATM VCEP v1.5.0: informative de novo occurrences have not yet been observed for ATM and de novo AR conditions are unlikely to be informed by phase. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | No variant-specific experimental functional studies (well-established in vitro or in vivo assays) were identified for NM_000051.4:c.7486G>C. The VCEP supplementary spreadsheet (Suppl_TableS1, PMID:40580951) provides an in silico meta-prediction classifying this variant as 'Functional' (Combined score 0.962, High confidence), but this represents computational prediction rather than experimental functional evidence. No published functional assay data (kinase activity, radiosensitivity, or ATM-specific phosphorylation rescue) were found for this variant. |

|
| PS4 | Not met | PS4 requires case-control studies demonstrating statistically significant enrichment of the variant in affected individuals (p≤0.05, OR/HR/RR ≥2 or lower 95% CI ≥1.5). None of the publications associated with this case provide case-control data for this variant. The ClinVar-associated PMIDs are general reviews, guidelines, or methodological papers that do not contain variant-specific prevalence or enrichment data. |
cspec
|
| PS5 | N/A | PS5 is not a standard ACMG/AMP criterion. No such criterion exists in the ACMG/AMP 2015 guidelines or the ATM VCEP v1.5.0 specifications. |
|
| PM1 | N/A | PM1 is not applicable per ATM VCEP v1.5.0. The VCEP states: 'Do not use: Benign and pathogenic variants are known to occur within the same domains and germline mutational hotspots are not well defined at this time.' |
cspec
|
| PM2 | Met | NM_000051.4:c.7486G>C is extremely rare in population databases. In gnomAD v4.1, the variant is present at an allele frequency of 0.00037% (6/1,614,098 alleles, 0 homozygotes), with a grpmax filtering AF of 1.83e-06. This frequency (≤0.001%) meets the ATM VCEP threshold for PM2_Supporting. |

|
| PM5 | N/A | PM5 per ATM VCEP v1.5.0 applies only to frameshifting or truncating variants with premature termination codons upstream of p.Arg3047, or to splice variants meeting specific criteria. The VCEP explicitly states: 'Do not use for missense changes.' NM_000051.4:c.7486G>C is a missense variant. |

| PM6 | N/A | PM6 is not applicable per ATM VCEP v1.5.0: 'Do not use for AD or AR disease: Informative de novo occurrences have not yet been observed and de novo AR conditions are unlikely to be informed by phase.' |
cspec
|
| PP1 | Not met | PP1 requires co-segregation of the variant with disease in affected family members. For ATM (AR condition), this requires both variants to be identified in affected relatives. No segregation data were identified in any of the reviewed publications or evidence sources. |
|
| PP2 | N/A | PP2 is not applicable per ATM VCEP v1.5.0: 'Do not use: ATM does not have a defined low rate of missense benign variation.' |
cspec
|
| PP3 | Not met | PP3 for missense variants under ATM VCEP requires REVEL score >0.7333. The REVEL score for this variant is 0.189, which does not meet this threshold. SpliceAI max delta score is 0.04 (<0.2), indicating no predicted splicing impact. Multiple lines of computational evidence do not support a deleterious effect. |

|
| BS3 | Not assessed | No variant-specific experimental functional studies demonstrating no damaging effect were identified for NM_000051.4:c.7486G>C. The VCEP supplementary spreadsheet (Suppl_TableS1, PMID:40580951) classifies this variant as 'Functional' (Combined score 0.962, High confidence) based on in silico meta-prediction, but this computational prediction does not constitute well-established in vitro or in vivo functional evidence as required for BS3. No published functional rescue data (kinase activity, radiosensitivity) were identified for this variant. |

|
| BS4 | N/A | BS4 is not applicable per ATM VCEP v1.5.0: for AD (cancer), co-segregation analysis in low-penetrance genes can lead to false positives; for AR (A-T), informative instances of lack of co-segregation are too rare to be considered for weight. |
cspec
|
| BP1 | N/A | BP1 is not applicable per ATM VCEP v1.5.0: 'Do not use: Missense pathogenic variants are known for ATM.' |
cspec
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | BP2 requires observation of the variant in trans with a pathogenic variant in an unaffected individual (≥18 years, no evidence of A-T). No such data were identified in the available evidence. No proband data for PM3/BP2 point assignment were found. |

| BP3 | N/A | BP3 is not applicable per ATM VCEP v1.5.0. This criterion applies to in-frame deletions/insertions in repetitive regions without known function; not relevant to a missense substitution. |
cspec
|
| BP4 | Met | BP4 for missense variants under ATM VCEP requires REVEL score ≤0.249. The REVEL score for NM_000051.4:c.7486G>C is 0.189, meeting this threshold. Additionally, BayesDel score is negative (-0.183511) and SpliceAI max delta is 0.04 (≤0.1), indicating no predicted splicing impact. Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no damaging effect on the gene product. |
