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.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 385 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Cys385Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs587782817, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CHEK2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142917). 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: 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. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect: loss of CHEK2-mediated DNA damage response in yeast assays as well as impaired autophosphorylation and kinase activity in human cell-based assays (PMID: 30851065, 37449874); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31398194, 32826389, 22419737, 19782031, 37449874, 30851065, 29522266) -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces cysteine with arginine at codon 385 of the CHEK2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373, 31398194). A functional study has demonstrated this variant to be damaging in a yeast based DNA damage response assay (PMID: 30851065). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 4/282412 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.C385R variant (also known as c.1153T>C), located in coding exon 10 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1153. The cysteine at codon 385 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration behaved as non-functional in an in vivo, yeast-based growth rate assay (Delimitsou A et al. Hum Mutat. 2019 05;40:631-648). This alteration was reported as functionally impaired in a study assessing CHEK2-complementation through quantification of KAP1 phosphorylation and CHK2 autophosphorylation in human RPE1-CHEK2-knockout cells (Stolarova L et al. Clin Cancer Res. 2023 Aug;29:3037-3050). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: CHEK2 c.1153T>C (p.Cys385Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251004 control chromosomes (gnomAD). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1153T>C in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome has been reported. At least two publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The variant effect results in reducing normal activity (Delimitsou_2019, Stolarova_2023). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31398194, 30851065, 37449874). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142917). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The CHEK2 c.1153T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Cys385Arg. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in any patients affected with CHEK2-related conditions. It has, however, been reported as a damaging variant in a yeast-based functional assay (Delimitsou et al. 2019. PubMed I: 30851065). This variant is reported in 0.0040% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/22-29091804-A-G). It is interpreted as a variant of uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/142917/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
