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:5
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Myriad Genetics, Inc. | Mar 08, 2023 | This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. - |

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 22, 2025 | This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 7 of the CHEK2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and 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). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and other cancers (PMID: 34072659, 35017683, 35534704, 35886069, 36744932; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 219543). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. - |

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Jan 12, 2024 | The c.846+1G>C intronic variant results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 6 of the CHEK2 gene. This alteration was identified in a cohort of 144 unselected Jewish Israeli breast cancer cases who were negative for the BRCA1/2 Ashkenazi Jewish founder mutations (Bernstein-Molho R et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2019 Jul;176:165-170). This variant was also reported in 1/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 0/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This alteration has also been reported in several South American breast cancer cohorts (Urbina-Jara LK et al. Genes (Basel). 2019 Oct;10(10); Solano AR et al. Cancers (Basel) 2021 May;13(11)), and in patients undergoing multigene panel testing for hereditary cancers (Sutcliffe EG et al. Cancer Genet. 2020 Aug;246-247:12-17). RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. - |
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health | Sep 22, 2020 | This variant causes a G to C nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 7 of the CHEK2 gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 30980208) and observed in a breast cancer study from Uraguay (PMID: 31658756). A different variant at the same position, c.846+1G>A, also has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 26484312). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of CHEK2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. - |

not provided Pathogenic:2
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Mar 02, 2016 | This variant is denoted CHEK2 c.846+1G>C or IVS7+1G>C and consists of a G>C nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 7 of the CHEK2 gene. This variant destroys a canonical splice donor site and is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, leading to either an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay or to an abnormal protein product. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. Based on the currently available information, we consider CHEK2 c.846+1G>C to be a likely pathogenic variant. - |

This sequence change has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ClinVar ID: 219543; PMID: 30980208) - PS4_moderate. This variant is not present in population databases (rs864622149- gnomAD; ABraOM no frequency - http://abraom.ib.usp.br) - PM2. Pathogenic missense variant in this residue have been reported (ClinVar ID: 530044; Clinvar ID: 428910) - PM5. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is likely pathogenic - |
