    I do not belong to this group myself but am aware of the FORCE organization. The acronym stands for Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered. They cover many issues involving hereditary health conditions on their website.

    Their information includes the statement “People with a common ATM mutation known as c.7271T>G variant may have a higher risk for breast cancer than people with other variants.”

    Hopefully, your genetic counselor can also point you to some resources linking metastatic disease to this gene. The PROMPT study has been collecting data for several years now & may have useful reports to share. Good luck!
