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 glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 377 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Glu377Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs560973106, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 29522266, 35534704, 35957908). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 128045). 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. 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with glycine at codon 377 of the CHEK2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. Functional studies have reported that this variant has a neutral impact on protein function in a yeast complementation assay (PMID: 30851065) and does not affect RNA splicing (PMID: 31843900). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 29522266, 31206626, 33083949), as well as in an individual age 70 years or older lacking personal history of cancer (https://whi.color.com/variant/22-29091827-T-C). This variant has been identified in 7/250492 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. -

The p.E377G variant (also known as c.1130A>G), located in coding exon 10 of the CHEK2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1130. The glutamic acid at codon 377 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with 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 alteration was detected in 0X/1054 Hispanic BRCA1/2-negative probands with hereditary breast cancer and 1/1189 controls (Weitzel JN et al. Cancer, 2019 Aug;125:2829-2836). This alteration was detected in 1/5589 German BRCA1/2-negative probands with breast cancer (Hauke J et al. Cancer Med, 2018 Apr;7:1349-1358). 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: CHEK2 c.1130A>G (p.Glu377Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 250492 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1130A>G has been reported in the literature without strong evidence for causality (Casadei_2019). Experimental studies have reported the variant to have no impact on function or splicing (Delimitsou_2019, Casadei_2019). Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Six submitters classified the variant as VUS while one classified as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as 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 no damaging effect: growth rate similar to wild type in yeast-based assays and no effect on splicing (Casadei et al., 2019; Delimitsou et al., 2019); Observed in individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast and other cancers, as well as in healthy controls (Hauke et al., 2018; Casadei et al., 2019; Lovejoy et al., 2018; Weitzel et al., 2019); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29522266, 30851065, 31843900, 22419737, 19782031, Lovejoy2018, 31206626) -
