Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points: 22P and 0B. PVS1 PS3 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_007194.4(CHEK2):​c.1259+1G>A variant causes a splice donor, intron change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV002270417: Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 11 (also known as exon 10), and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID:26506619).".

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.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.8, offset of 31, new splice context is: ctgGTagga. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV002270417: Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 11 (also known as exon 10), and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 26506619).
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 22-28695709-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-28695709-C-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 496341.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
