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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Feb 01, 2024	This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 475 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Phe475Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs370968992, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 27616075, 35264596). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141046). 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Uncertain:3

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	May 23, 2023	This missense variant replaces phenylalanine with isoleucine at codon 475 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). A functional study has shown the mutant protein to be functional in a DNA damage repair assay in yeast (PMID: 30851065). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 27616075), as well as in an unaffected female over age 70 (https://whi.color.com/variant/22-29090058-A-T). This variant has been identified in 8/265196 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	May 24, 2022	The p.F475I variant (also known as c.1423T>A), located in coding exon 12 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 1423. The phenylalanine at codon 475 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly 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 poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000064 (8/124198 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. -

Variant summary: CHEK2 c.1423T>A (p.Phe475Ile) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Protein kinase domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.1e-05 in 260162 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1423T>A has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with Breast and Ovarian Cancer. This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and all classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The CHEK2 c.1423T>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Phe475Ile. This variant has been reported in an individual with breast cancer (Table S4, Kraus et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 27616075). In vivo experimental studies using a yeast-based system suggest this variant is functionally benign (Table S1 and Figure S3, Delimitsou et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30851065). This variant is reported in 0.0064% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/22-29090058-A-T). It is interpreted as uncertain significance by the vast majority of submitters in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/141046/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

The CHEK2 p.Phe475Ile variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in Cosmic, MutDB, or Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs370968992) â€šÃ„ÃºWith Uncertain significance alleleâ€šÃ„Ã¹, ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics, GeneDx, and Invitae), Clinvitae and the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project in 1 of 4692 chromosomes (frequency 0.0002). The variant was not identified in the 1000 Genomes Project, genome Aggregation or the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016) control databases. The p.Phe475 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
