About ATM

ATM encodes a kinase that acts as a master controller of the cellular DNA damage response: it detects double-strand breaks and coordinates DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, or apoptosis through downstream targets including p53, BRCA1, and CHK2. Loss-of-function mutations in both copies of ATM cause ataxia telangiectasia, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by neurological problems, immune deficiency, and cancer predisposition. ATM functions as a tumor suppressor: individuals with ataxia telangiectasia are prone to childhood lymphomas, leukemias, and breast cancer, while carriers of a single altered copy have increased risk of breast, pancreatic, prostate, and other cancers. Somatic ATM mutations also occur in lymphoid malignancies and solid tumors, and ATM-deficient cancers are often especially sensitive to DNA-damaging treatments.

LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.

Final classification: VUS - PM2 (supporting) alone satisfies no pathogenic or benign combination rule in the ATM VCEP v1.5 framework.

Met · 1

PM2 SupportingMet (supporting): the variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1, exceeding the VCEP's <=0.001% supporting rarity threshold. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PM2 is met at Supporting strength. The ATM VCEP v1.5 specifies PM2_Supporting for a frequency of <=0.001% in gnomAD v4, including a variant observed once in a single subpopulation. The exact variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1, which is compatible with and exceeds the required rarity threshold; it is also absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD-Canada v1.0.

Rule
Frequency <=0.001% in gnomAD v4 dataset; if n=1 in a single subpopulation, PM2_Supporting applies
Evidence considered
  • ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 specifies PM2_Supporting at frequency <=0.001% in the gnomAD v4 dataset and states that n=1 in a single subpopulation is sufficiently rare.
  • The exact variant NM_000051.4:c.7243G>C (NC_000011.10:g.108329174G>C) is absent from gnomAD v4.1; no population allele count or frequency is reported, and the variant therefore does not exceed the PM2 frequency ceiling.
  • The exact variant is also reported as absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD-Canada v1.0, providing concordant population rarity observations.

PVS1 Not met: c.7243G>C is a missense change (p.Ala2415Pro), not a null variant, and SpliceAI's max delta of 0.012 indicates no splice impact. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PVS1 is not met. NM_000051.4:c.7243G>C is a missense substitution, p.(Ala2415Pro), not a null variant. It is not at a canonical splice dinucleotide, and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (maximum delta 0.012); thus there is no evidence that it produces a premature termination codon, NMD, exon loss, or loss of protein length. The ATM VCEP PVS1 decision guide applies to null variant classes and therefore does not apply to this missense consequence.

Rule
ATM VCEP v1.5 PVS1 decision guide: PVS1 is for null variants in ATM, a gene with established loss-of-function disease mechanism.
Evidence considered
  • The normalized consequence is NM_000051.4:c.7243G>C, NP_000042.3:p.(Ala2415Pro), a single amino-acid substitution with unchanged protein length.
  • The ATM VCEP v1.5 PVS1 guide specifies PVS1 for null variants (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1/2 splice variants, initiation-codon variants, or single/multi-exon deletions); the present variant is none of these classes.
  • SpliceAI maximum delta is 0.012, below the reported threshold for a significant predicted splice effect; no splice-mediated truncation or NMD mechanism is supported.

PM4 Not met: PM4 applies only to stop-loss variants, and p.Ala2415Pro is a missense substitution with no protein-length change. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PM4 is not met. Under the ATM VCEP v1.5 specification, PM4 is restricted to stop-loss variants. This variant is the missense substitution p.(Ala2415Pro), with no stop-loss event and no protein-length change.

Rule
ATM VCEP v1.5 PM4: use for stop-loss variants.
Evidence considered
  • The ATM VCEP v1.5 PM4 rule is: ‘Use for stop-loss variants.’
  • The normalized protein consequence is p.(Ala2415Pro), a missense substitution; the predicted protein begins and ends at the same positions as reference, supporting no length alteration.

PP3 Not met: REVEL 0.512 falls below the ATM VCEP PP3 threshold of >0.7333. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense substitution, with REVEL 0.512 below the ATM VCEP PP3 threshold (>0.7333) and SpliceAI max delta 0.012 below the ATM VCEP splice threshold (≥0.2); PVS1/PVS1_Variable(RNA) is not applied.

Rule
Missense: REVEL >.7333; splicing: predicted impact via SpliceAI ≥0.2 for silent, missense/in-frame, and intronic variants outside donor and acceptor 1,2 sites.
Evidence considered
  • LOOKUP variant_type: missense, NM_000051.4:c.7243G>C (NP_000042.3:p.(Ala2415Pro)).
  • LOOKUP pvs1_or_pvs1_variable_rna_applied: FALSE — the variant is missense and the case assessment does not apply PVS1 or PVS1_Variable(RNA).
  • LOOKUP revel_score: 0.512 for this missense variant.
  • LOOKUP spliceai_score: maximum delta score 0.012 (DS_DL 0.012; the case summary rounds this to 0.01).
  • LOOKUP computational_evidence_assessment: available computational evidence does not provide convergent calibrated support for a deleterious effect; REVEL is in the intermediate range and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_1: Has splice analysis been considered for this variant type, including missense, frameshift, nonsense, etc., as any variant has the potential to impact splicing which may preclude any expected protein effects? — TRUE — SpliceAI was assessed for this missense variant.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_2: Is PVS1 or PVS1_Variable(RNA) applied? If so, PP3 for splice predictions may not be applied in addition. — FALSE — Neither PVS1 nor PVS1_Variable(RNA) is applied.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_3: Do multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)? — FALSE — REVEL 0.512 does not exceed the VCEP threshold and SpliceAI 0.012 does not support splice disruption.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_4: Has caution been used in applying the wrong type of computational evidence (pro)? — TRUE — The missense REVEL path and splice-impact path were evaluated against their specified VCEP thresholds without treating an uncalibrated BayesDel score as evidence.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_5: Have algorithms using the same or very similar input been avoided as independent evidence, since each algorithm should not be counted as an independent? — TRUE — Predictor outputs were not counted as independent additive evidence; only the specified REVEL and SpliceAI paths were assessed.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_6: For a missense variant, is the REVEL score >.7333? — FALSE — REVEL is 0.512.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_7: For a silent, missense/in-frame, or intronic variant outside of donor and acceptor 1,2 sites, is splicing impact predicted via SpliceAI ≥0.2? — FALSE — the variant is missense, but SpliceAI max delta is 0.012.
  • Sun et al. Table S1 reports the exact variant as missense with REVEL 0.512 and a non-functional combined classification, but its predictor fields are corroborative and do not meet the ATM VCEP PP3 thresholds.

BA1 Not met: the variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1, so the >0.5% BA1 allele-frequency threshold is not reached. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BA1 is not met. The ATM VCEP v1.5 specifies BA1 when the gnomAD v4 group maximum filtering allele frequency is greater than 0.5%. This variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1, so the BA1 threshold is not reached.

Rule
Grpmax Filtering AF >0.5% in gnomAD v4 dataset
Evidence considered
  • ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 specifies BA1 as applicable at Grpmax Filtering AF >0.5% in the gnomAD v4 dataset.
  • The exact variant NM_000051.4:c.7243G>C (NC_000011.10:g.108329174G>C) is reported as absent from gnomAD v4.1; therefore no group-maximum allele frequency exceeding 0.5% is available.
Sources
BS1 Not met: the variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1, so the >0.05% BS1 allele-frequency threshold is not reached. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BS1 is not met. The ATM VCEP v1.5 specifies BS1 when the gnomAD v4 group maximum filtering allele frequency is greater than 0.05%. This variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1, so the BS1 threshold is not reached.

Rule
Grpmax Filtering AF >0.05% in gnomAD v4 dataset
Evidence considered
  • ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 specifies BS1 as applicable at Grpmax Filtering AF >0.05% in the gnomAD v4 dataset.
  • The exact variant NM_000051.4:c.7243G>C (NC_000011.10:g.108329174G>C) is reported as absent from gnomAD v4.1; therefore no allele frequency exceeding 0.05% is available.
Sources
BS3 Not met: the direct functional assay scored the variant Non-functional, showing no rescue of ATM function. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The available direct functional result classifies NM_000051.4:c.7243G>C (p.Ala2415Pro) as Non-functional, which does not show rescue or absence of a damaging effect. No variant-specific evidence demonstrates rescue of an ATM-specific feature or radiosensitivity. BS3 is therefore not met.

Rule
ATM VCEP v1.5 BS3: use moderate when both an ATM-specific feature and radiosensitivity are rescued; use supporting when either is rescued.
Evidence considered
  • The ATM VCEP v1.5 BS3 rule requires rescue of both an ATM-specific feature and radiosensitivity for moderate BS3, or rescue of either feature for supporting BS3.
  • The exact variant row in Sun et al. Table S1 is directly measured (DeepATM_predicted=No) and classified Non-functional, not Functional; this is inconsistent with a benign rescue result.
  • The ATM VCEP-approved assay table was consulted, but it provides assay calibration rather than a variant-specific rescue result and does not establish BS3 for this variant.
  • CHECKLIST bs3_1: Is the evidence a well-established in vitro or in vivo functional study showing no damaging effect on protein function or splicing? — FALSE — The direct result for this variant is classified Non-functional, not as showing preserved function or normal splicing.
  • CHECKLIST bs3_2: For protein evidence, have the detailed notes on ATM-specific assays been consulted? — TRUE — The ATM VCEP-specific kinase-activity and radiosensitivity assay guidance was reviewed.
  • CHECKLIST bs3_3: For RNA evidence, has BP7_RNA been used and has strength been modulated based on assay quality and quantity (curator discretion)? — NA — This is a missense variant with direct prime-editing functional evidence, not an RNA assay.
  • CHECKLIST bs3_4: Does the variant rescue both an ATM specifc feature (e.g. phosphorylation of ATM-specific targets) AND radiosensitivity? — NA — No variant-specific rescue measurements for both features were provided.
  • CHECKLIST bs3_5: Does the variant rescue EITHER an ATM specifc feature OR rescue radiosensitivity? — NA — No variant-specific rescue measurement for either feature was provided.
Still missing
  • No variant-specific rescue data for an ATM-specific feature or radiosensitivity were found.

BP4 Not met: REVEL 0.512 exceeds the <=0.249 BP4 threshold required for missense variants. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

For this missense variant, the governing ATM VCEP missense BP4 path requires REVEL ≤0.249; the observed REVEL is 0.512. Although SpliceAI is low (0.012), the case-specific BP4 override requires missense variants to use only the missense path and does not allow clean SpliceAI to establish BP4 for a missense protein effect.

Rule
Missense: REVEL ≤.249; splicing: no predicted impact via SpliceAI ≤0.1.
Evidence considered
  • LOOKUP variant_type: missense, NM_000051.4:c.7243G>C (NP_000042.3:p.(Ala2415Pro)).
  • LOOKUP bp7_variable_rna_applied: FALSE — no BP7_Variable(RNA) code is applied and the variant is not in a BP7-eligible class.
  • LOOKUP revel_score: 0.512 for this missense variant.
  • LOOKUP spliceai_score: maximum delta score 0.012.
  • LOOKUP computational_evidence_assessment: SpliceAI suggests no splice impact, but REVEL is not in the benign BP4 range; the evidence is not convergent for a benign computational conclusion.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_1: Has splice analysis been considered for this variant type, including missense, frameshift, nonsense, etc., as any variant has the potential to impact splicing which may preclude any expected protein effects? — TRUE — SpliceAI was assessed for this missense variant.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_2: Is BP7_Variable(RNA) applied? If so, BP4 for splice predictions may not be applied in conjunction with it. — FALSE — BP7_Variable(RNA) is not applied.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_3: Do multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc)? — FALSE — only the splice predictor is clearly benign-direction; REVEL 0.512 is intermediate rather than benign-direction.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_4: Has caution been used in applying the wrong type of compu? — TRUE — The missense REVEL path was used, and the low SpliceAI result was not used to clear the missense effect under the case-specific override.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_5: Have algorithms using the same or very similar input been avoided as independent evidence, since each algorithm cannot be counted as an independent criterion? — TRUE — Predictor outputs were not counted as independent additive evidence.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_6: For a missense variant, is the REVEL score ≤.249? — FALSE — REVEL is 0.512.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_7: Is there no predicted impact via splicing, with SpliceAI ≤0.1? — TRUE — SpliceAI maximum delta is 0.012, which is ≤0.1; this does not establish BP4 for this missense variant because the case-specific override restricts missense BP4 to REVEL.
  • The case-specific BP4 missense/splicing policy explicitly changes the outcome from a literal application of the VCEP's alternative splice wording: clean SpliceAI cannot establish BP4 for a missense variant when REVEL is in the 0.249–0.7333 gray zone.

PS1 Not assessed: no established pathogenic variant producing the same amino-acid change, p.Ala2415Pro, was available for comparison. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense change, p.Ala2415Pro, and the ATM VCEP permits PS1 for a missense change only when the same amino-acid change has been established as pathogenic and splicing has been ruled out for both alterations. The case bundle contains no established pathogenic same-amino-acid comparator and no comparator-specific splicing evidence; the current variant's SpliceAI result is low (maximum delta 0.012), but that alone cannot establish PS1.

Rule
Use for missense changes as long as splicing is ruled-out for both alterations; use the ATM PS1 Splicing table for splicing variants with similar predictions or observations of splice defect.
Evidence considered
  • Variant normalization identifies NM_000051.4:c.7243G>C as the missense substitution NP_000042.3:p.(Ala2415Pro).
  • The ATM VCEP PS1 guidance requires the same amino-acid change as an established pathogenic variant for the missense path and requires splicing to be ruled out for both alterations.
  • SpliceAI reports no significant splice impact for the current variant, with maximum delta score 0.012.
  • No established pathogenic same-amino-acid comparator or comparator-specific splice evidence is present in the consolidated case-evidence bundle.
  • CHECKLIST ps1_1: Is the variant a missense change with the same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change? — FALSE — The variant is missense, but no previously established pathogenic p.Ala2415Pro comparator is documented.
  • CHECKLIST ps1_2: For a missense change, has a splice defect been ruled out for both alterations? — NA — Splicing is not predicted for the current variant, but no comparator alteration was identified for which splicing could also be assessed.
  • CHECKLIST ps1_3: Is the variant a splicing variant? — FALSE — The variant is an exonic missense substitution in exon 49.
  • CHECKLIST ps1_4: For a splicing variant, does the ATM PS1 Splicing table show similar predictions or observations of splice defect? — NA — The variant is not a splicing variant, so the ATM PS1 Splicing-table path is not applicable.
Still missing
  • No previously established pathogenic ATM variant with the same p.Ala2415Pro amino-acid change was identified in the case evidence bundle.
  • No comparator variant was identified, so splicing has not been established as ruled out for both alterations.

PS3 Not assessed: a prime-editing screen scored this variant Non-functional, but PS3 awaits human review because that assay is not among the ATM VCEP's calibrated assays. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is directly represented in the Sun et al. ATM prime-editing saturation screen as Non-functional with DeepATM_predicted=No and Medium-high confidence, which is supportive of a damaging functional effect. However, the ATM VCEP PS3/BS3 specification calibrates approved evidence using specific ATM kinase/radiosensitivity assays and states that the current variant must be confirmed in those papers; the Sun assay is not one of the VCEP-calibrated assays. Therefore PS3 is not assigned pending human review of whether this newer direct assay can be accepted under the current VCEP specification.

Rule
ATM VCEP v1.5 PS3: do not use as strong; use moderate when both an ATM-specific feature and radiosensitivity fail; use supporting when an ATM-specific feature alone fails; do not use radiosensitivity-only evidence.
Evidence considered
  • The ATM VCEP v1.5 framework applies to this ATM variant and specifies PS3 as applicable, prohibits PS3 at strong strength, permits moderate only when both an ATM-specific feature and radiosensitivity fail, and permits supporting when an ATM-specific feature alone fails.
  • The ATM VCEP-approved assay table identifies specific ATM kinase-activity assays and a limited radiosensitivity assay as the calibrated evidence base; it requires confirmation that the current variant was actually tested in those papers rather than relying on the table's generic calibration.
  • The exact c.7243G>C / p.Ala2415Pro row in Sun et al. Table S1 is classified Non-functional with Medium-high confidence and DeepATM_predicted=No, indicating a direct prime-editing screen measurement rather than a model extrapolation.
  • CHECKLIST ps3_1: Is the evidence a well-established in vitro or in vivo functional study supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product? — TRUE — The exact variant has a direct prime-editing functional-screen result classified as Non-functional, although the assay is not among the ATM VCEP-calibrated assays.
  • CHECKLIST ps3_2: Has the functional study been validated and shown to be reproducible and robust in a clinical diagnostic laboratory setting? — NA — No clinical-diagnostic-laboratory validation or reproducibility evidence was provided in the case bundle.
  • CHECKLIST ps3_3: Is the evidence phenotypic evidence (e.g. a lack of ATM activity in cells from an Ataxia-Telangiectasia patient), which must not be used as functional data? — FALSE — The available functional result is a direct engineered-cell prime-editing screen, not a patient phenotypic assay.
  • CHECKLIST ps3_4: For protein evidence, have the detailed notes on ATM-specific assays been consulted? — TRUE — The ATM VCEP-specific kinase-activity and radiosensitivity assay guidance was reviewed.
  • CHECKLIST ps3_5: For RNA evidence, has PVS1_Strength(RNA) been used and has strength been modulated based on assay quality and quantity (curator discretion)? — NA — This is a missense variant with direct prime-editing functional evidence, not an RNA assay.
  • CHECKLIST ps3_6: Does the variant fail to rescue both an ATM specifc feature (e.g. phosphorylation of ATM-specific targets) AND radiosensitivity? — NA — The bundle does not provide variant-specific ATM-substrate phosphorylation and radiosensitivity readouts for this variant.
  • CHECKLIST ps3_7: Does the variant fail to rescue an ATM specifc feature only (e.g. phosphorylation of ATM-specific targets)? — NA — The bundle does not provide a variant-specific ATM-specific feature readout such as phosphorylation of ATM targets.
  • CHECKLIST ps3_8: Is the evidence radiosensitivity-only, which must not be used because it is not a feature specific to ATM deficiency? — FALSE — The evidence is a prime-editing functional screen, not a radiosensitivity-only result.
  • CHECKLIST ps3_9: Has PS3 been prevented from use at strong strength? — TRUE — The VCEP instruction explicitly states not to use PS3 as strong, and no strong strength was assigned.
Still missing
  • No evidence was found that the direct prime-editing assay has been validated as reproducible and robust in a clinical diagnostic laboratory setting.
  • The Sun et al. assay does not report the ATM-specific phosphorylation readout and radiosensitivity combination required by the ATM VCEP calibration, so it is not established whether the variant fails both required features or an ATM-specific feature alone.
  • Human adjudication is needed to determine whether the directly measured but non-VCEP-calibrated prime-editing result can support PS3 under ATM VCEP v1.5.

PS4 Not assessed: no case-control enrichment data for this exact variant met the required odds ratio >=2 with p<=0.05. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ATM HBOP VCEP permits PS4 only from case-control evidence meeting p-value ≤0.05 plus an odds ratio, hazard ratio, or relative risk ≥2 (or lower 95% CI ≥1.5). No exact-variant case-control enrichment data were identified. The only reviewed publication reports gene-level ATM mutation frequencies in familial pancreatic cancer and explicitly does not mention c.7243G>C (p.Ala2415Pro); it cannot establish variant-specific enrichment.

Rule
ATM HBOP VCEP v1.5 PS4 Strong: case-control p-value ≤0.05 and OR/HR/RR ≥2 or lower 95% CI ≥1.5.
Evidence considered
  • ATM HBOP VCEP v1.5 specifies PS4 Strong as a case-control study with p-value ≤0.05 and odds ratio, hazard ratio, or relative risk ≥2, or lower 95% confidence interval ≥1.5; it does not permit PS4_Moderate for this gene.
  • PMID:25394175 was reviewed for c.7243G>C and p.(A2415P) and does not report the variant. Its quoted ATM frequencies concern unspecified ATM mutations in familial pancreatic cancer, not variant-specific case-control enrichment.

PM3 Not assessed: no proband phenotype, second ATM variant, zygosity, or phase data were available to score under the PM3 points framework. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 PM3/BP2 points-based framework applies, but the case bundle contains no affected-proband phenotype, second pathogenic/likely pathogenic ATM variant, zygosity, or parent/offspring phase data. Therefore no PM3 points or strength can be assigned.

Rule
ATM VCEP v1.5: PM3_VeryStrong >= 8 points; PM3_Strong = 4 points; PM3 = 2 points; PM3_Supporting = 1 point, using the ATM PM3/BP2 table.
Evidence considered
  • The governing source is the ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 specification, which directs use of the ATM PM3/BP2 points table for A-T and assigns final PM3 strength from the summed PM3 points.
  • The ATM PM3/BP2 table assigns points according to affected-proband phenotype, zygosity, the presence and classification of the second allele, and whether trans phase is confirmed; none of those case-specific observations are present in the consolidated evidence bundle.
  • CHECKLIST pm3_1: Has the ATM PM3/BP2 table been consulted to determine the points assigned for this proband and the final PM3 code assignment from the sum of PM3-related points? — TRUE — The bundle contains and identifies the ATM PM3/BP2 VCEP v1.5 points table and its PM3 strength thresholds, but no case points can be assigned.
  • CHECKLIST pm3_2: Does the proband have Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T), including consideration of the ‘variant’ or ‘atypical’ A-T exceptions in which phenotypes are more mild with slower progression? — NA — No proband phenotype, A-T diagnosis, or atypical/variant A-T information is documented.
  • CHECKLIST pm3_3: Is the variant detected in trans with a pathogenic variant for this recessive disorder? — NA — No second ATM variant or trans observation is documented.
  • CHECKLIST pm3_4: Has phase been determined by testing parents or offspring? — NA — No parental or offspring testing and no phase result are documented.
  • CHECKLIST pm3_5: Does the sum of PM3-related points meet one of the stated final assignment thresholds: PM3_VeryStrong ≥ 8 points, PM3_Strong = 4 points, PM3 = 2 points, or PM3_Supporting = 1 point? — NA — The PM3 point sum cannot be calculated because the required proband, allele, and phase data are missing.

BP2 Not assessed: no unaffected-individual or in-trans allele data were available to score under the BP2 points framework. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 BP2 points-based framework applies, but the case bundle contains no unaffected-individual observation, ATM allele in trans, dominant-gene comparator in trans, cis pathogenic variant, zygosity, age, or A-T phenotype information. Therefore no BP2 points or strength can be assigned.

Rule
ATM VCEP v1.5: BP2_Strong <= -4 points; BP2_Moderate = -2 points; BP2 = -1 point, using the ATM PM3/BP2 table.
Evidence considered
  • The governing source is the ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 specification, which directs use of the ATM PM3/BP2 points table for BP2 and assigns final BP2 strength from the summed BP2 points.
  • The ATM PM3/BP2 table requires specific unaffected-individual, zygosity, trans/cis, inheritance, and age/phenotype observations for BP2; none of those case-specific observations are present in the consolidated evidence bundle.
  • CHECKLIST bp2_1: Has the ATM PM3/BP2 table been consulted to determine the points assigned for this proband and the final BP2 code assignment from the sum of BP2-related points? — TRUE — The bundle contains and identifies the ATM PM3/BP2 VCEP v1.5 points table and its BP2 strength thresholds, but no case points can be assigned.
  • CHECKLIST bp2_2: Is the individual homozygous or does the individual have the variant in trans with a likely pathogenic or pathogenic ATM variant for possible downgrade? — NA — Zygosity and any second ATM allele or its classification are not documented.
  • CHECKLIST bp2_3: If assessing a homozygous or in trans variant for possible downgrade in an unaffected individual, is the individual 18 years or older with no evidence of A-T? — NA — Unaffected status, age, zygosity/phase, and evidence regarding A-T are not documented.
  • CHECKLIST bp2_4: Is the variant observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for a fully penetrant dominant gene/disorder, or observed in cis with a pathogenic variant in any inheritance pattern? — NA — No trans dominant-gene observation, cis pathogenic variant, or phase data are documented.
  • CHECKLIST bp2_5: Does the sum of BP2-related points meet one of the stated final assignment thresholds: BP2_Strong ≤ -4 points, BP2_Moderate = -2 points, or BP2 = -1 point? — NA — The BP2 point sum cannot be calculated because the required unaffected-individual, zygosity, phase, age, and comparator-variant data are missing.
Still missing
  • An unaffected individual carrying the variant with a pathogenic or likely pathogenic ATM variant in trans is not documented.
  • The individual's zygosity, age, A-T status, and whether the observation is from a laboratory or database setting are not documented.
  • A pathogenic variant in a fully penetrant dominant gene in trans or a pathogenic variant in cis is not documented.
  • The per-individual BP2 point total cannot be calculated without the missing allelic, inheritance, and clinical observations.

PS2 VCEPNot applicable: the ATM VCEP framework does not use PS2 for ATM-related cancer predisposition or ataxia-telangiectasia. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The applicable ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 framework marks PS2 not applicable for both ATM-related cancer predisposition and ataxia-telangiectasia contexts. No case-level proband, de novo, parentage, or family-history evidence is present in the bundle.

VCEP rule
ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5: Do not use PS2 for AD or AR disease.
Evidence considered
  • CHECKLIST ps2_1: Is the disease AD or AR? Do not use PS2 for AD or AR disease because informative de novo occurrences have not yet been observed and de novo AR conditions are unlikely to be informed by phase. — TRUE — The ATM VCEP framework covers autosomal dominant ATM-related cancer predisposition and autosomal recessive ataxia-telangiectasia, and explicitly makes PS2 not applicable for AD or AR disease.
  • CHECKLIST ps2_2: Is the variant occurrence de novo in a patient with the disease? — NA — The case bundle contains no proband-level occurrence or parental-genotype report establishing a de novo event.
  • CHECKLIST ps2_3: Is there no family history? — NA — No case-level family-history information is provided.
  • CHECKLIST ps2_4: Have both maternity and paternity been confirmed? — NA — No parentage testing results are provided.
  • CHECKLIST ps2_5: Is the available parentage evidence limited to confirmation of paternity only? Confirmation of paternity only is insufficient. — NA — No paternity-only or other parentage evidence is available.
  • CHECKLIST ps2_6: Have egg donation, surrogate motherhood, errors in embryo transfer, or other circumstances that can contribute to non-maternity been evaluated? — NA — The bundle contains no documentation evaluating non-maternity circumstances.
  • The extracted literature record for PMID:25394175 does not mention this variant and provides no de novo or segregation evidence; it was not used as criterion support.
Still missing

PM1 VCEPNot applicable: the ATM VCEP excludes PM1 because benign and pathogenic variants occur within the same domains, with no defined germline hotspot. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ATM VCEP explicitly marks PM1 as not applicable because benign and pathogenic variants are known to occur within the same domains and germline mutational hotspots are not well defined. The vcep_materials.json domain_tables object has no ATM entry; regardless, the explicit VCEP prohibition controls.

VCEP rule
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.
Evidence considered
  • The ATM VCEP criterion record marks PM1 as Not Applicable.
  • The ATM VCEP instruction states: Do not use because benign and pathogenic variants are known to occur within the same domains and germline mutational hotspots are not well defined at this time.
  • The vcep_materials.json domain_tables key is present but empty, so there is no gene-specific authoritative domain table entry to inspect for ATM.
  • CHECKLIST pm1_1: Does the VCEP instruction state that PM1 must not be used because benign and pathogenic variants are known to occur within the same domains and germline mutational hotspots are not well defined at this time? — TRUE — This is the explicit ATM VCEP PM1 prohibition.
Sources
PM5 N/ANot applicable: the ATM VCEP prohibits PM5 for missense changes because same-residue substitutions can be pathogenic or benign. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is missense. The ATM VCEP explicitly states not to use PM5 for missense changes because multiple amino-acid substitutions at the same residue can be pathogenic or benign and current bioinformatic tools cannot confidently distinguish them. PM5 therefore does not apply, irrespective of the absence of a premature-termination or RNA/NMD pathway.

Rule
Do not use for start-loss variants or missense changes; use PM5_Supporting for qualifying truncating or NMD-prone splice variants upstream of p.Arg3047.
Evidence considered
  • Variant normalization identifies NM_000051.4:c.7243G>C as the missense substitution p.Ala2415Pro.
  • The ATM VCEP PM5 guidance applies PM5_Supporting only to qualifying truncating or splice variants and explicitly says not to use PM5 for missense changes.
  • CHECKLIST pm5_1: Is the variant a start-loss variant? — FALSE — The variant is annotated as missense p.Ala2415Pro, not start-loss.
  • CHECKLIST pm5_2: Is the variant a missense change? — TRUE — NM_000051.4:c.7243G>C causes p.Ala2415Pro.
  • CHECKLIST pm5_3: Is the variant frameshifting or truncating with a premature termination codon upstream of p.Arg3047*? — FALSE — The variant is missense and does not create a premature termination codon.
  • CHECKLIST pm5_4: Is the variant a splice variant with a premature termination codon upstream of p.Arg3047 where PVS1_VS(RNA) is applied based on high quality observed splicing impact and is NMD prone? — FALSE — The variant is not a splice variant and no premature termination codon is produced.
  • CHECKLIST pm5_5: If PM5 is applicable, is it assigned as PM5_Supporting rather than moderate? — NA — PM5 is not applicable to this missense variant.

PM6 VCEPNot applicable: the ATM VCEP framework does not use PM6 in either the cancer-predisposition or ataxia-telangiectasia context. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The applicable ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 framework marks PM6 not applicable for both ATM-related cancer predisposition and ataxia-telangiectasia contexts. No assumed de novo occurrence or parentage information is present in the bundle.

VCEP rule
ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5: Do not use PM6 for AD or AR disease.
Evidence considered
  • CHECKLIST pm6_1: Is the disease AD or AR? Do not use PM6 for AD or AR disease because informative de novo occurrences have not yet been observed and de novo AR conditions are unlikely to be informed by phase. — TRUE — The ATM VCEP framework covers autosomal dominant ATM-related cancer predisposition and autosomal recessive ataxia-telangiectasia, and explicitly makes PM6 not applicable for AD or AR disease.
  • CHECKLIST pm6_2: Is the occurrence assumed de novo? — NA — The case bundle contains no case-level assertion or evidence that the variant occurrence was assumed de novo.
  • CHECKLIST pm6_3: Is this assumed de novo occurrence without confirmation of paternity and maternity? — NA — Neither an assumed de novo occurrence nor parentage-confirmation results are documented.
  • The extracted literature record for PMID:25394175 does not mention this variant and provides no de novo evidence; it was not used as criterion support.
Still missing
  • No case-level documentation of an assumed de novo occurrence.
  • No parental testing or confirmed maternity and paternity results.

PP1 N/ANot applicable: PP1 co-segregation is not used in the autosomal-dominant ATM cancer-predisposition context per the VCEP. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The case is represented under the ATM-related cancer-predisposition context, an autosomal dominant condition for which the ATM VCEP instructs that PP1 co-segregation analysis should not be used; the VCEP's explicit PP1 strength rules are for autosomal recessive segregation. No affected-relative segregation data are available.

Rule
ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 PP1 rules specify AR segregation strengths; the checklist prohibits AD co-segregation use in lower-penetrance genes.
Evidence considered
  • CHECKLIST pp1_1: Is the condition AR? — FALSE — The case is associated with hereditary cancer predisposition, and the ATM framework identifies that condition as autosomal dominant; no A-T phenotype is documented.
  • CHECKLIST pp1_2: For an AR condition, do affected relatives have both variants identified in proband? — NA — The case is not documented as an AR A-T case and no affected-relative genotypes are provided.
  • CHECKLIST pp1_3: For an AD condition, is co-segregation analysis being considered? Do not use PP1 because co-segregation analysis in lower-penetrance genes can lead to false positive results (PMID 32773770). — TRUE — This is the AD ATM-related cancer context, and the checklist's caveat applies; co-segregation should not be used for PP1 in this lower-penetrance context.
  • CHECKLIST pp1_4: Does the variant co-segregate with disease in multiple affected family members in a gene definitively known to cause the disease? — NA — No family pedigree, affected relatives, or segregation results are provided.
  • CHECKLIST pp1_5: Are there segregation data in ≥3 affected relatives for the AR condition? — NA — No AR segregation data are available.
  • CHECKLIST pp1_6: Are there segregation data in 2 affected relatives for the AR condition? — NA — No AR segregation data are available.
  • CHECKLIST pp1_7: Are there segregation data in 1 affected relative for the AR condition? — NA — No AR segregation data are available.
  • CHECKLIST pp1_8: Has the potential use of stronger evidence with increasing segregation data been assessed? — NA — There are no segregation data to assess for escalation.
  • PMID:32773770 is cited in the governing checklist as the rationale for the lower-penetrance AD co-segregation caveat; it is not present in the case source registry or paper extracts and was not independently reviewed.
  • The extracted literature record for PMID:25394175 does not mention this variant and provides no segregation evidence; it was not used as criterion support.
Still missing
  • No case-level inheritance context or affected-relative pedigree data.
  • No information on whether any affected relatives carry both proband variants for an autosomal recessive condition.
  • No segregation count for one, two, or at least three affected relatives.

PP2 VCEPNot applicable: ATM lacks a defined low rate of benign missense variation, so PP2 does not apply. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ATM VCEP explicitly marks PP2 as not applicable because ATM does not have a defined low rate of benign missense variation.

VCEP rule
Do not use: ATM does not have a defined low rate of missense benign variation.

Sources
PP4 VCEPNot applicable: the ATM VCEP excludes PP4 because phenotypes such as breast cancer have multiple genetic etiologies that cannot be distinguished. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ATM HBOP VCEP specifies PP4 as not applicable. For autosomal dominant disease, breast cancer has multiple genetic etiologies and hereditary versus sporadic causes cannot be readily distinguished; for autosomal recessive disease, phenotype evidence is incorporated into the ATM PM3/BP2 framework rather than assigned separately as PP4.

VCEP rule
ATM HBOP VCEP v1.5: PP4 not applicable.
Evidence considered
  • ATM HBOP VCEP v1.5 instructs that PP4 must not be used for either the autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive ATM disease contexts.
Sources
BS2 VCEPNot applicable: the ATM VCEP v1.5 framework does not apply BS2 to this variant. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BS2 is not applicable under the ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 framework. No BS2 assessment is made for this variant.

Evidence considered
  • The ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 marks BS2 as Not Applicable.
Sources
BS4 VCEPNot applicable: no family-level observations of unaffected carriers or lack of segregation were available. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The applicable ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 framework marks BS4 not applicable. The bundle contains no family-level lack-of-segregation observations, unaffected carriers, or affected-relative genotypes to evaluate.

VCEP rule
ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5: BS4 not applicable.
Evidence considered
  • CHECKLIST bs4_1: Is the condition AD? For an AD condition, assess the caveat that co-segregation analysis in low penetrance genes can lead to false positive results (PMID 32773770). — TRUE — The case is in the AD ATM-related cancer context, so the low-penetrance co-segregation caveat applies; no segregation data are available.
  • CHECKLIST bs4_2: Is the condition AR? For an AR condition, assess the instruction that informative instances of lack of co-segregation in A-T families are too rare to be considered for weight at this time. — FALSE — The case is represented under ATM-related cancer predisposition rather than an A-T family; the AR caveat is not applicable to the documented case context.
  • CHECKLIST bs4_3: For an AR condition, are biallelic unaffected patients observed in an A-T family such that BP2 can also be considered? — NA — No AR A-T family or biallelic unaffected patient is documented.
  • CHECKLIST bs4_4: Is there lack of segregation in affected members of a family? — NA — No family segregation data are present.
  • CHECKLIST bs4_5: Could phenocopies for common phenotypes, including cancer or epilepsy, mimic lack of segregation among affected individuals? — TRUE — Cancer is a common phenotype and phenocopies could mimic non-segregation; however, no family-level observations are available in this case.
  • CHECKLIST bs4_6: Could the family have more than one pathogenic variant contributing to an autosomal dominant disorder? — TRUE — This is a recognized caveat for autosomal dominant ATM-related cancer families, but no family genotyping data are provided to determine whether it occurred here.
  • The extracted literature record for PMID:25394175 does not mention this variant and provides no non-segregation evidence; it was not used as criterion support.
Still missing
  • No case-level pedigree or segregation analysis.
  • No affected relatives documented as lacking the variant.
  • No information permitting assessment of phenocopies or multiple pathogenic variants in a family.

BP1 VCEPNot applicable: BP1 does not apply because pathogenic missense variants are well documented in ATM. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ATM VCEP explicitly marks BP1 as not applicable because missense pathogenic variants are known for ATM.

Sources
BP3 VCEPNot applicable: the ATM VCEP specification marks BP3 as not applicable. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BP3 is not applicable because the ATM VCEP v1.5 specification explicitly marks BP3 as ‘Not Applicable.’ No repeat-region assessment can override this gene-specific non-applicability.

VCEP rule
ATM VCEP v1.5: BP3 is not applicable.
Evidence considered
  • The ATM VCEP v1.5 CSPEC criteria list BP3 with applicability ‘Not Applicable.’
Sources
BP5 VCEPNot applicable: the ATM VCEP excludes BP5, as low ATM penetrance makes alternate-molecular-diagnosis reasoning unreliable. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ATM HBOP VCEP specifies BP5 as not applicable. Its guidance states that multiple pathogenic variants may occur without a noticeable phenotype difference and that low ATM penetrance makes co-occurrence with other pathogenic variants more likely, so an alternate molecular diagnosis cannot be used as BP5 evidence.

VCEP rule
ATM HBOP VCEP v1.5: BP5 not applicable.
Evidence considered
  • ATM HBOP VCEP v1.5 instructs 'Do not use' for BP5 because ATM low penetrance and observed multiple-pathogenic-variant cases make this evidence non-discriminatory.
Sources
BP7 N/ANot applicable: BP7 is limited to synonymous and deep-intronic variants, and this change is missense. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BP7 is limited by the ATM VCEP to synonymous and qualifying deep-intronic variants, whereas this variant is missense.

Rule
BP7: synonymous and qualifying deep-intronic variants; BP7(RNA) may receive variable weight based on RNA assay quality and BP7 is not conflicting evidence against a pathogenic splice-defect body of evidence.
Evidence considered
  • LOOKUP variant_class_and_position: missense exonic variant c.7243G>C; it is neither synonymous nor deep intronic.
  • LOOKUP splice_prediction_assessment: SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact, with maximum delta 0.012.
  • LOOKUP nucleotide_conservation_assessment: NA — BP7 is not applicable to this missense variant and no BP7-specific conservation assessment is available.
  • LOOKUP rna_functional_study_assessment: NA — no BP7 RNA functional study assessment is present for this missense variant.
  • LOOKUP pathogenic_splice_defect_evidence: no body of evidence supporting a pathogenic splice defect was identified in this case; this does not make BP7 applicable to a missense variant.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_1: Is the variant synonymous or deep intronic? — FALSE — the variant is missense.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_2: For a deep intronic variant, is it beyond (but not including) +7 (donor) and -21 (acceptor)? — NA — the variant is not deep intronic.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_3: Do splicing prediction algorithms predict no impact to the splice consensus sequence nor the creation of a new splice site? — TRUE — SpliceAI maximum delta is 0.012 and predicts no significant splice impact; BP7 remains inapplicable because the variant is missense.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_4: Is the nucleotide not highly conserved? — NA — no BP7-specific conservation assessment is available and the variant class is ineligible.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_5: For silent substitutions and intronic variants with RNA functional studies, is there an observed lack of aberrant RNA defect? — NA — this is not a silent or intronic variant and no applicable RNA study is reported.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_6: Has the variable weight for BP7_Variable(RNA), BP7_Strong(RNA), or BP7_Moderate(RNA) been assessed depending on curator discretion of assay quality? — NA — no applicable BP7 RNA assay or weight assessment is present.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_7: Is BP4 also applicable to achieve Likely Benign? — FALSE — BP4 is not met for this missense variant because REVEL 0.512 exceeds the missense BP4 cutoff and the case-specific override excludes the splice-only route.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_8: Is BP7 being treated as not a conflicting piece of evidence against a body of evidence supporting a pathogenic splice defect? — TRUE — BP7 is not assigned and no pathogenic splice-defect body of evidence was identified; no conflict is created.
  • The ATM VCEP BP7 rule applies to synonymous and deep-intronic variants beyond (but not including) +7 donor and -21 acceptor positions, with optional RNA-based variable strength; none of those applicability conditions is met here.

How the predictions were used

PP3 Not met: REVEL 0.512 falls below the ATM VCEP PP3 threshold of >0.7333. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense substitution, with REVEL 0.512 below the ATM VCEP PP3 threshold (>0.7333) and SpliceAI max delta 0.012 below the ATM VCEP splice threshold (≥0.2); PVS1/PVS1_Variable(RNA) is not applied.

Rule
Missense: REVEL >.7333; splicing: predicted impact via SpliceAI ≥0.2 for silent, missense/in-frame, and intronic variants outside donor and acceptor 1,2 sites.
Evidence considered
  • LOOKUP variant_type: missense, NM_000051.4:c.7243G>C (NP_000042.3:p.(Ala2415Pro)).
  • LOOKUP pvs1_or_pvs1_variable_rna_applied: FALSE — the variant is missense and the case assessment does not apply PVS1 or PVS1_Variable(RNA).
  • LOOKUP revel_score: 0.512 for this missense variant.
  • LOOKUP spliceai_score: maximum delta score 0.012 (DS_DL 0.012; the case summary rounds this to 0.01).
  • LOOKUP computational_evidence_assessment: available computational evidence does not provide convergent calibrated support for a deleterious effect; REVEL is in the intermediate range and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_1: Has splice analysis been considered for this variant type, including missense, frameshift, nonsense, etc., as any variant has the potential to impact splicing which may preclude any expected protein effects? — TRUE — SpliceAI was assessed for this missense variant.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_2: Is PVS1 or PVS1_Variable(RNA) applied? If so, PP3 for splice predictions may not be applied in addition. — FALSE — Neither PVS1 nor PVS1_Variable(RNA) is applied.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_3: Do multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)? — FALSE — REVEL 0.512 does not exceed the VCEP threshold and SpliceAI 0.012 does not support splice disruption.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_4: Has caution been used in applying the wrong type of computational evidence (pro)? — TRUE — The missense REVEL path and splice-impact path were evaluated against their specified VCEP thresholds without treating an uncalibrated BayesDel score as evidence.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_5: Have algorithms using the same or very similar input been avoided as independent evidence, since each algorithm should not be counted as an independent? — TRUE — Predictor outputs were not counted as independent additive evidence; only the specified REVEL and SpliceAI paths were assessed.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_6: For a missense variant, is the REVEL score >.7333? — FALSE — REVEL is 0.512.
  • CHECKLIST pp3_7: For a silent, missense/in-frame, or intronic variant outside of donor and acceptor 1,2 sites, is splicing impact predicted via SpliceAI ≥0.2? — FALSE — the variant is missense, but SpliceAI max delta is 0.012.
  • Sun et al. Table S1 reports the exact variant as missense with REVEL 0.512 and a non-functional combined classification, but its predictor fields are corroborative and do not meet the ATM VCEP PP3 thresholds.
Sources
BP4 Not met: REVEL 0.512 exceeds the <=0.249 BP4 threshold required for missense variants. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

For this missense variant, the governing ATM VCEP missense BP4 path requires REVEL ≤0.249; the observed REVEL is 0.512. Although SpliceAI is low (0.012), the case-specific BP4 override requires missense variants to use only the missense path and does not allow clean SpliceAI to establish BP4 for a missense protein effect.

Rule
Missense: REVEL ≤.249; splicing: no predicted impact via SpliceAI ≤0.1.
Evidence considered
  • LOOKUP variant_type: missense, NM_000051.4:c.7243G>C (NP_000042.3:p.(Ala2415Pro)).
  • LOOKUP bp7_variable_rna_applied: FALSE — no BP7_Variable(RNA) code is applied and the variant is not in a BP7-eligible class.
  • LOOKUP revel_score: 0.512 for this missense variant.
  • LOOKUP spliceai_score: maximum delta score 0.012.
  • LOOKUP computational_evidence_assessment: SpliceAI suggests no splice impact, but REVEL is not in the benign BP4 range; the evidence is not convergent for a benign computational conclusion.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_1: Has splice analysis been considered for this variant type, including missense, frameshift, nonsense, etc., as any variant has the potential to impact splicing which may preclude any expected protein effects? — TRUE — SpliceAI was assessed for this missense variant.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_2: Is BP7_Variable(RNA) applied? If so, BP4 for splice predictions may not be applied in conjunction with it. — FALSE — BP7_Variable(RNA) is not applied.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_3: Do multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc)? — FALSE — only the splice predictor is clearly benign-direction; REVEL 0.512 is intermediate rather than benign-direction.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_4: Has caution been used in applying the wrong type of compu? — TRUE — The missense REVEL path was used, and the low SpliceAI result was not used to clear the missense effect under the case-specific override.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_5: Have algorithms using the same or very similar input been avoided as independent evidence, since each algorithm cannot be counted as an independent criterion? — TRUE — Predictor outputs were not counted as independent additive evidence.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_6: For a missense variant, is the REVEL score ≤.249? — FALSE — REVEL is 0.512.
  • CHECKLIST bp4_7: Is there no predicted impact via splicing, with SpliceAI ≤0.1? — TRUE — SpliceAI maximum delta is 0.012, which is ≤0.1; this does not establish BP4 for this missense variant because the case-specific override restricts missense BP4 to REVEL.
  • The case-specific BP4 missense/splicing policy explicitly changes the outcome from a literal application of the VCEP's alternative splice wording: clean SpliceAI cannot establish BP4 for a missense variant when REVEL is in the 0.249–0.7333 gray zone.

Reasoning

BP7 is limited by the ATM VCEP to synonymous and qualifying deep-intronic variants, whereas this variant is missense.

Rule
BP7: synonymous and qualifying deep-intronic variants; BP7(RNA) may receive variable weight based on RNA assay quality and BP7 is not conflicting evidence against a pathogenic splice-defect body of evidence.
Evidence considered
  • LOOKUP variant_class_and_position: missense exonic variant c.7243G>C; it is neither synonymous nor deep intronic.
  • LOOKUP splice_prediction_assessment: SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact, with maximum delta 0.012.
  • LOOKUP nucleotide_conservation_assessment: NA — BP7 is not applicable to this missense variant and no BP7-specific conservation assessment is available.
  • LOOKUP rna_functional_study_assessment: NA — no BP7 RNA functional study assessment is present for this missense variant.
  • LOOKUP pathogenic_splice_defect_evidence: no body of evidence supporting a pathogenic splice defect was identified in this case; this does not make BP7 applicable to a missense variant.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_1: Is the variant synonymous or deep intronic? — FALSE — the variant is missense.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_2: For a deep intronic variant, is it beyond (but not including) +7 (donor) and -21 (acceptor)? — NA — the variant is not deep intronic.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_3: Do splicing prediction algorithms predict no impact to the splice consensus sequence nor the creation of a new splice site? — TRUE — SpliceAI maximum delta is 0.012 and predicts no significant splice impact; BP7 remains inapplicable because the variant is missense.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_4: Is the nucleotide not highly conserved? — NA — no BP7-specific conservation assessment is available and the variant class is ineligible.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_5: For silent substitutions and intronic variants with RNA functional studies, is there an observed lack of aberrant RNA defect? — NA — this is not a silent or intronic variant and no applicable RNA study is reported.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_6: Has the variable weight for BP7_Variable(RNA), BP7_Strong(RNA), or BP7_Moderate(RNA) been assessed depending on curator discretion of assay quality? — NA — no applicable BP7 RNA assay or weight assessment is present.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_7: Is BP4 also applicable to achieve Likely Benign? — FALSE — BP4 is not met for this missense variant because REVEL 0.512 exceeds the missense BP4 cutoff and the case-specific override excludes the splice-only route.
  • CHECKLIST bp7_8: Is BP7 being treated as not a conflicting piece of evidence against a body of evidence supporting a pathogenic splice defect? — TRUE — BP7 is not assigned and no pathogenic splice-defect body of evidence was identified; no conflict is created.
  • The ATM VCEP BP7 rule applies to synonymous and deep-intronic variants beyond (but not including) +7 donor and -21 acceptor positions, with optional RNA-based variable strength; none of those applicability conditions is met here.

    This paper does not report ATM c.7243G>C / NP_000042.3:p.(A2415P). It states that some familial pancreatic cancer families have unspecified ATM mutations, with ATM mutations in 2.4% (4/166) of patients with familial pancreatic cancer and 4.6% (4/87) of families with three or more affected individuals; these gene-level figures do not provide variant-specific case-control evidence.

    Quoted passage
    Some families with familial pancreatic cancer also have mutations in the CDKN2A, PALB2, or ATM genes. PALB2 mutations occur in 0.9–3.7% of pancreatic cancer patients with at least one additional relative affected with pancreatic cancer.48–50 ATM mutations were found in 2.4% (4/166) of patients with familial pancreatic cancer and in 4.6% (4/87) of families with three or more affected individuals.51
