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.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces methionine with valine at codon 304 of the CHEK2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast and or ovarian cancer (PMID: 28779002, 31206626, 33471991). This variant has been identified in 9/250794 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.M304V variant (also known as c.910A>G), located in coding exon 8 of the CHEK2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 910. The methionine at codon 304 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in at least one subject in a study of 13087 breast cancer cases and 5488 control individuals in the UK (Decker B et al. J. Med. Genet., 2017 11;54:732-741). This alteration was also identified in an individual diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Weitzel JN et al. Cancer, 2019 08;125:2829-2836). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 304 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Met304Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs769436449, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 38061684). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186170). 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. -

Variant summary: CHEK2 c.910A>G (p.Met304Val) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Protein kinase domain (IPR000719) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.6e-05 in 250794 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.910A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome and/or colorectal cancer (Infante_2024). 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 publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 38061684). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186170). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The CHEK2 c.910A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Met304Val. This variant has been reported in breast cancer cohort studies (Supplement, Decker et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28779002; Table S3, Weitzel et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31206626). This variant is reported in 0.023% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/22-29095924-T-C). It is interpreted as uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/186170/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
