Genes affected

CHEK2 (HGNC:16627): (checkpoint kinase 2) In response to DNA damage and replication blocks, cell cycle progression is halted through the control of critical cell cycle regulators. The protein encoded by this gene is a cell cycle checkpoint regulator and putative tumor suppressor. It contains a forkhead-associated protein interaction domain essential for activation in response to DNA damage and is rapidly phosphorylated in response to replication blocks and DNA damage. When activated, the encoded protein is known to inhibit CDC25C phosphatase, preventing entry into mitosis, and has been shown to stabilize the tumor suppressor protein p53, leading to cell cycle arrest in G1. In addition, this protein interacts with and phosphorylates BRCA1, allowing BRCA1 to restore survival after DNA damage. Mutations in this gene have been linked with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a highly penetrant familial cancer phenotype usually associated with inherited mutations in TP53. Also, mutations in this gene are thought to confer a predisposition to sarcomas, breast cancer, and brain tumors. This nuclear protein is a member of the CDS1 subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 528 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Glu528Lys). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with diffuse large B cell lymphoma and colorectal cancer (PMID: 23960188, 28135145, 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142361). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant¬†is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect CHEK2 function (PMID: 30851065). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.E528K variant (also known as c.1582G>A), located in coding exon 14 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1582. The glutamic acid at codon 528 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration behaved as functional in an in vivo, yeast-based growth rate assay (Delimitsou A et al. Hum. Mutat., 2019 05;40:631-648). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 528 of the CHEK2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. An experimental functional study has been shown this variant to be neutral in a yeast based DNA damage repair assay (PMID: 30851065). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with colorectal cancer in the literature (PMID: 28135145). This variant has been identified in 8/265030 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with colon cancer and lymphoma (de Miranda et al., 2013; Yurgelun et al., 2017); Published functional studies demonstrate no damaging effect: cell growth and proliferation after DNA damage similar to wild type (Delimitsou et al., 2019); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23960188, 28135145, 28211887, 31398194, 32906215, 30851065) -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

In the published literature, the variant has been reported in an individual with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145 (2017)). A yeast functional assay found that this variant had a benign effect on protein function (PMID: 30851065 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00004 (5/124096 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: CHEK2 c.1582G>A (p.Glu528Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.1e-05 in 233632 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1582G>A has been reported in the literature as a germline variant in individuals with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and colorectal cancer (e.g. deMiranda_2013, Yurgelun_2017). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, indicating that the variant showed no damaging effects in a yeast-based assay (e.g. Delimitsou_2019). Six other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories cited the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
