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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.C362Y variant (also known as c.1085G>A), located in coding exon 9 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1085. The cysteine at codon 362 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration, reported as NM_001005735.1:c.1214G>A, has been identified in a proband with a personal history of triple negative breast cancer, thyroid cancer and bladder cancer (Ollier M et al. Am J Cancer Res, 2015 Jun;5:2113-26). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. 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

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 362 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Cys362Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs767306337, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with a personal history of breast cancer, thyroid cancer, and bladder cancer (PMID: 26328243). This variant is also known as c.1214G>A (p.Cys405Tyr). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 218157). 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. 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.
