The CHEK2 c.1534C>G (p.Leu512Val) variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMIDs: 21244692 (2011), 25186627 (2015), 31206626 (2019)), colorectal cancer (PMID: 28944238 (2017)), and in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 31206626 (2019)). Assessment of experimental evidence regarding the effect of this variant on protein function suggests it has no effect relevant to disease (PMID: 37449874 (2023), 30851065 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0006 (21/35204 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the 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. -
Published functional studies demonstrate no damaging effect: normal growth in response to DNA damage (PMID: 30851065); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with a personal history of breast cancer (PMID: 21244692, 25186627); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21244692, 26787654, 27527004, 16671833, 25186627, 31398194, 31106920, 30851065) -

Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:2Benign:1
This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 512 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Leu512Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs17882942, gnomAD 0.06%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 21244692, 25186627). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141856). 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 are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on 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. -
- -
This variant is considered likely benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:2
- -
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: CHEK2 c.1534C>G (p.Leu512Val) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.5e-05 in 235842 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CHEK2 causing Breast Cancer (8.5e-05 vs 0.00031), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1534C>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast Cancer as well as in controls (Calvez-Kelm_2011, Young_2015, Weitzel_2019). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Breast Cancer. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, however, does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect (Delimitsou_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16671833, 21244692, 30851065, 37449874, 31206626, 26787654). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141856). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
