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

The p.A247D variant (also known as c.740C>A), located in coding exon 5 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 740. The alanine at codon 247 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. At this time, this variant has not been reported in individuals with CHEK2-related cancers; however, in vitro analysis in a colorectal cancer cell line has shown this variant results in an unstable CHEK2 protein (Lee SB et al. Cancer Res., 2001 Nov;61:8062-7). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces alanine with aspartic acid at codon 247 of the CHEK2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). This variant was detected in the compound heterozygous state with a known pathogenic variant in a sporadic colon carcinoma cell line and has been shown to reduce protein expression, stability, and kinase activity (PMID: 11719428, 34903604). In an international breast cancer case-control meta-analysis, this variant was detected in 1/60466 cases and absent in 53461 controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 1/251372 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. -

Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect: protein instability and reduced kinase activity (PMID: 11719428, 34903604); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21765476, 23856246, 15162061, 24755471, 17721994, 22189968, 12393693, 18297428, 22385513, 27716909, 11719428, 34903604, 22419737, 19782031) -

Collection Method: clinical testing

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 422759). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CHEK2-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 247 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Ala247Asp). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CHEK2 function (PMID: 11719428, 21765476, 34903604). -
