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 threonine, which is neutral and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 387 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Thr387Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs771387164, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 29945567). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 460788). 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 disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CHEK2 function (PMID: 11390408, 12805407, 16835864, 20713355). This variant disrupts the serine/threonine kinase domain of the CHEK2 protein, which is essential for protein function (PMID: 30264118, 31843900, 29785007). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect of this variant on CHEK2 protein function, this suggests that disruption of this region of the protein is causative of disease. 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. -

The p.T387A variant (also known as c.1159A>G), located in coding exon 10 of the CHEK2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1159. The threonine at codon 387 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in a cohort of pancreatic cancer patients unselected for family history (Young EL et al. BMC Cancer. 2018 Jun;18:697). This alteration is located in the activation loop of the CHEK2 kinase domain, and has been shown to result in abolished CHEK2 kinase activity (Wu X et al. Hum. Mutat. 2006 Aug;27:742-7). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
