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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.053308822 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

PVS1, PM2_Supporting c.1009-1G>C, located in a canonic splicing site, within a (potentially) clinically important functional domain of the CHEK2 gene, is predicted to alter splicing. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (PVS1). It is not present in the population database gnomAD v2.1.1, non-cancer dataset (PM2_supporting). To our knowledge, neither relevant clinical data nor well-established functional studies have been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in the ClinVar database or LOVD. Based on currently available information, the variant c.1009-1G>C should be considered a likely pathogenic variant, according to ACMG/AMP guidelines. -
