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

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00035 (7/19946 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer as well as in several healthy controls (PMID: 30287823 (2018)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 344 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Ile344Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs202051128, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 30287823). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232564). 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.I344M variant (also known as c.1032A>G), located in coding exon 9 of the CHEK2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1032. The isoleucine at codon 344 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been reported with a carrier frequency of 0.00057 in 7,051 unselected breast cancer patients and 0.00036 in 11,241 female controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. Nat Commun, 2018 10;9:4083). In another study, this variant was reported in 0/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 2/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This variant has also been reported in 1/416 papillary thyroid carcinoma patients and 0/100 healthy controls (Shen CT et al. Endocrine, 2019 06;64:622-631). 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. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: CHEK2 c.1032A>G (p.Ile344Met) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the protein kinase domain (IPR0007190) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 251208 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1032A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast and prostate cancers (example: Momozawa_2018, Shen_2019, Wei_2019). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30287823, 30826992, 31248605). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232564). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
