Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_000051.4:c.7875T>G (p.Asp2625Glu) is a missense variant in exon 53 of ATM, observed at extremely low frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (AF = 6.82 × 10⁻⁶, 11/1,613,262 alleles), meeting PM2_Supporting.
2
In silico predictions are inconclusive: REVEL score (0.373) falls between the VCEP PP3 threshold (>0.7333) and BP4 threshold (≤0.249), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta = 0.07).
3
The variant is classified as 'Functional' (High confidence) in the ATM SNV combined-score table (PMID 40580951), reflecting in silico composite prediction rather than experimental functional data; no variant-specific functional assays are available.
4
ClinVar reports this variant as Pathogenic (1 submitter, criteria provided, single submitter); however, the VCEP does not use PP5/BP6, and no independent case-level or functional evidence corroborates this classification.
5
With only PM2_Supporting met and no other criteria satisfied, this variant does not reach a Likely Pathogenic or Likely Benign classification under the ACMG/AMP combination rules and is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
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.

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 ±1/2 splice sites, initiation codon, exon deletion). NM_000051.4:c.7875T>G is a missense variant (p.Asp2625Glu) and does not fall within the ATM PVS1 decision tree. |

| PS1 | Not met | PS1 requires a different nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution (p.Asp2625Glu) with a prior pathogenic or likely pathogenic classification. While c.7875T>A also encodes p.Asp2625Glu, it lacks a ClinVar classification and is not established as pathogenic or likely pathogenic. No qualifying comparator variant exists. |

| PS2 | N/A | CSPEC HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5.0: Do not use for AD or AR disease — informative de novo occurrences have not been observed and de novo AR conditions are unlikely to be informed by phase. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | Not met | No variant-specific experimental functional assay data are available. ATM VCEP PS3 requires rescue assay evidence (failure to rescue ATM-specific phosphorylation targets and/or radiosensitivity). The Suppl_TableS1 classification of 'Functional' reflects in silico composite prediction, not experimental functional data. No publications with variant-specific functional assays were identified. |

| PS4 | Not met | No case-control studies demonstrating significantly increased prevalence of NM_000051.4:c.7875T>G in affected individuals compared to controls are available. The ClinVar submission is from a single clinical laboratory without published case-level data. |

| PS5 | N/A | PS5 is not included in the ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5.0 criteria set. The VCEP review committee recommends against using PP5/BP6, and PS5 falls into the same category of relying on unverified external classifications. |
cspec
|
| PM1 | N/A | CSPEC HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5.0: 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. |

|
| PM2 | Met | NM_000051.4:c.7875T>G is present in gnomAD v4.1 at an allele frequency of 6.82 × 10⁻⁶ (0.00068%; 11/1,613,262 alleles), which is below the ATM VCEP PM2_Supporting threshold of ≤0.001%. The variant is absent from gnomAD-Canada and observed at 3.99 × 10⁻⁶ in gnomAD v2.1 (1/250,866 alleles). |

| PM5 | N/A | ATM VCEP PM5 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.7875T>G is a missense variant (p.Asp2625Glu). |

| PP1 | Not met | No co-segregation data are available for NM_000051.4:c.7875T>G. ATM VCEP PP1 applies only to autosomal recessive (A-T) conditions and requires affected relatives to carry both variants identified in the proband. No segregation studies have been published for this variant. |

Multiple computational predictors (REVEL, BayesDel −0.137, AlphaMissense 0.164, EVE 0.312) do not reach the consensus threshold for a deleterious prediction under the VCEP rules. |
