Description
This variant is denoted ATM c.2051A>G at the cDNA level, p.Gln684Arg (Q684R) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamine to an Arginine (CAG>CGG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. ATM Gln684Arg was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Glutamine and Arginine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. ATM Gln684Arg occurs at a position that is not conserved and is not located in a known functional domain (Tavtigian 2009, Stracker 2013). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether ATM Gln684Arg is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance.
