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.

The CHEK2 c.715G>A (p.Glu239Lys) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 35264596 (2022), 33471991 (2021) see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/CHEK2), 32957588 (2020), 30303537 (2019), 27616075 (2017), 27595995 (2016), 26976419 (2016), 26787654 (2016), 25186627 (2015), 21244692 (2011)), prostate cancer (PMIDs: 16941491 (2006), 12533788 (2003)) and colorectal cancer (PMIDs: 33298767 (2021), 28135145 (2017)). This variant has also been identified in reportedly individuals (PMIDs: 33471991 (2021) see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/CHEK2), 27595995 (2016)). Functional studies showed inconclusive results regarding the variant's impact on protein function (PMIDs: 37449874 (2023), 34903604 (2022), 30851065 (2019), 31050813 (2019), 31780696 (2019), 22419737 (2012), 16835864 (2006)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00032 (8/25064 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

The CHEK2: p.Glu239Lys variant (rs121908702) has been reported in association with colorectal, prostate, breast, and ovarian cancers, including control groups (Yurgelun 2017, Kraus 2017, Dong 2003, and Southey 2016). This variant is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) with a frequency of 0.03 percent in the European Finnish population (identified on 8 out of 25,726 chromosomes) and has been reported to the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 5600). Reconstitution of this variant in yeast cells lacking CHEK2 showed a “moderate” decrease of growth compared to WT after DNA damage induction by methyl methanesulfonate (Roeb 2012). This variant is moderately conserved in the kinase domain of the CHEK2 protein and has been shown to reduce the phosphorylation activity of the enzyme with model substrate (Wu 2006); however computational predictors indicate a neutral effect on protein structure and function (SIFT: tolerated, PolyPhen-2: benign). Altogether, there is not enough evidence to classify the p.Glu239Lys variant with certainty. -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 239 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Glu239Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908702, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with prostate cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, colorectal cancer, non-medullary thyroid cancer, and/or breast cancer (PMID: 12533788, 21244692, 26506619, 26787654, 26976419, 27595995, 27616075, 28135145, 30303537, 31614935, 32957588, 33692755, 36468172). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5600). 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. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on CHEK2 function (PMID: 16835864, 22419737, 30851065, 34903604). 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.715G>A (p.Glu239Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00011 in 1613900 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00033 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Latino control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.056 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in CHEK2 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome phenotype (0.00031). This variant was also observed in the heterozygous state in 2 individuals with no personal history of cancer who are >70 years of age (FLOSSIES database). c.715G>A has been reported in the literature in numerous individuals affected with CHEK2-related conditions, without strong evidence for causality. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with CHEK2-related conditions. In a multicenter large case-control study, this variant failed to confer any statistically-significant association with breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers (Southey_2016). Pathogenic variants in CHEK2 gene constitute risk alleles that confer low risk for breast cancer (e.g. CHEK2 1100delC). Therefore, this variant shows some features of a high-prevalence mild/intermediate risk allele, however the current data to support this are weak. Functional studies suggest this variant has an intermediate effect in yeast-based in vivo DNA damage response and was found to partially reduce CHEK2 kinase activity in vitro (Wu_2006, Roeb_2012, Dutil_2019), however data were not robust. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 12533788, 26506619, 27616075, 21244692, 29659569, 22419737, 27595995, 25186627, 16835864, 25318351, 26787654, 28135145, 26580448, 31780696). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5600). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

The p.E239K variant (also known as c.715G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 715. The glutamic acid at codon 239 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in cohorts of prostate cancer patients, unselected non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients, and BRCA-negative HBOC patients (Wu X et al. Hum. Mutat. 2006 Aug;27:742-7; Dong X et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2003 Feb;72:270-80; Havranek O et al. PLoS ONE 2015 Oct;10(10):e0140819; Kraus C et al. Int. J. Cancer 2017 Jan;140(1):95-102; Girard E et al. Int J Cancer, 2019 04;144:1962-1974). In two large case-control studies, p.E239K was detected in breast cancer patients but not in healthy controls; however, these studies did not have enough carriers to demonstrate statistically increased odds (Girard E et al. Int J Cancer. 2019 04;144:1962-1974; Le Calvez-Kelm F et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2011 Jan;13:R6). In contrast, another case-control study identified p.E239K in 2/3360 healthy controls but not in 1928 breast cancer cases (Klieblova P et al. Int. J. Cancer. 2019 Oct;145(7):1782-1797). In another large study, this variant was reported in 18/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 7/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med 2021 02;384:428-439) and in the combined case-control data in the ENIGMA CHEK2gether Project, this variant was reported in 15/73048 cases and 10/88658 controls, with insignificant OR of 1.63 (95% CI 0.68-4.06), p=0.24 (Stolarova L et al. Clin Cancer Res. 2023 Aug;29(16):3037-3050). Multiple functional studies have found that this alteration demonstrates partially reduced CHK2 kinase activity (Wu X et al. Hum. Mutat. 2006 Aug;27:742-7; Roeb W et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2012 Jun;21:2738-44; Klieblova P et al. Int. J. Cancer 2019 Oct;145(7):1782-1797; Boonen RACM et al. Cancer Res, 2022 02;82:615-631). However, in other studies, this variant was considered functional (Delimitsou A et al. Hum. Mutat. 2019 05;40(5):631-648; Stolarova L et al. Clin Cancer Res. 2023 Aug;29(16):3037-3050). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 239 in the kinase domain of the CHEK2 protein. Computational prediction tool suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. Functional studies have shown the mutant protein to exhibit partially reduced protein expression levels (PMID: 33606978), CHEK2 kinase activity (PMID: 16835864, 31050813, 31780696, 34903604, 37449874) and DNA damage response (PMID: 22419737), but normal function in yeast complementation assay (PMID: 30851065). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 21244692, 26976419, 27616075, 31780696, 32957588), colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (PMID: 26506619), prostate cancer (PMID: 12533788), papillary thyroid cancer (PMID: 33692755), and pheochromocytoma (PMID: 34630562). In large breast cancer case-control studies, this variant has not shown a conclusive association with increased risk of breast cancer (OR = 1.70, 95% CI 0.73 to 3.93, p=0.210 in PMID: 27595995; OR = 2.274, 95% CI 0.95 to 5.445, p=0.071 in PMID: 33471991). In addition, this variant has not shown significant association with ovarian cancer or prostate cancer in a large case-control study (PMID: 27595995). This variant has been identified in 24/282754 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 CHEK2 c.715G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu239Lys. This variant has been documented in individuals with prostate cancer (Dong et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12533788; Wu et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16835864), breast cancer (Roeb et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22419737) and ductal carcinoma in situ (Kraus et al. 2017, Supplemental Table 4. PubMed ID: 27616075). This variant has been reported to have a negative association with breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers among Europeans (Southey et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27595995). Functional studies on this variant have indicated its possible role in altered acetylation (Suo et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23298314), partially reduced kinase activity (Wu et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16835864), and DNA damage response (Roeb et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22419737). This variant is reported in 0.032% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as uncertain significance by the vast majority of submitters in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/5600/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

The CHEK2 c.715G>A (p.Glu239Lys) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.025% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The in silico tool REVEL is inconclusive and functional assays are not in agreement about the effect of this variant on protein function (PMID: 16835864, 22419737, 30851065, 31050813, 31780696, 34903604). This variant has been reported individuals with breast cancer (21244692, 27616075, 30303537) and prostate cancer (PMID: 12533788, 16835864). It is present 2x in a database of women older than 70 years of age who have never had cancer (FLOSSIES, https://whi.color.com/). In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -
