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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr139*) 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 cancer (PMID: 28724667, 31650731). This variant is also known as c.546C>A (p.Tyr182*). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 439092). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 3 of the CHEK2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. 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. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Y139* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.417C>A), located in coding exon 2 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 417. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 2. This alteration was detected in a cohort of 8085 consecutive unselected Chinese breast cancer patients who underwent multi-gene panel testing. (Sun J et al. Clin. Cancer Res., 2017 Oct;23:6113-6119). This alteration was also identified in a family with papillary thyroid cancer (Zhao Y et al. Thyroid, 2020 06;30:924-930). 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.

This nonsense variant causes the premature termination of CHEK2 protein synthesis. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer and papillary thyroid cancer (PMID: 32318955 (2020), 32041497 (2020), 28724667 (2017)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: CHEK2 c.417C>A (p.Tyr139X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251288 control chromosomes. c.417C>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with breast cancer (example, Sun_2017) and co-segregating with papillary thyroid cancer in at-least one large family (Zhao_2020). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in reduced p53 phosphorylation and decreased p53 protein level (Zho_2020). Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
