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

This missense variant replaces phenylalanine with leucine at codon 103 of the CHEK2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). An experimental functional study demonstrated this variant to be neutral in a yeast based DNA damage repair assay (PMID 30851065) and a complementation study in human cells showed no impact on KAP1 phosphorylation and intermediate impact on CHEK2 autophosphorylation (PMID: 37449874). This variant has been reported in at least two individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 29522266, 37449874). This variant has not been identified 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 p.F103L variant (also known as c.307T>C), located in coding exon 1 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 307. The phenylalanine at codon 103 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In one study, this alteration was detected in 1/5589 German BRCA1/2-negative probands with breast cancer (Hauke J et al. Cancer Med, 2018 04;7:1349-1358). This alteration behaved as functional in an in vivo, yeast-based growth rate assay (Delimitsou A et al. Hum Mutat, 2019 05;40:631-648). 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 sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 103 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Phe103Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 29522266). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141340). 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. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on CHEK2 function (PMID: 30851065, 37449874). 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. -
