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.

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Jun 27, 2023	This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Feb 20, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys284*) in the CHEK2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CHEK2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21876083, 24713400). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 26911350). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 449826). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This variant is denoted CHEK2 c.852C>A at the cDNA level and p.Cys284Ter (C284X) at the proteinlevel. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Cysteine to a premature stop codon (TGC>TGA),and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay. This variant has been reported in at least one individual with hereditary breast cancer (Mannan 2016) and isconsidered likely pathogenic. -

The p.C284* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.852C>A), located in coding exon 7 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 852. This changes the amino acid from a cysteine to a stop codon within coding exon 7. This mutation was identified in an individual from India with a personal and family history of breast cancer (Mannan AU et al. J. Hum. Genet., 2016 Jun;61:515-22). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
