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.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted CHEK2 c.8G>A at the cDNA level, p.Arg3Gln (R3Q) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Arginine to a Glutamine (CGG>CAG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as a pathogenic or benign germline variant. CHEK2 Arg3Gln was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is not located within a known functional domain. In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether CHEK2 Arg3Gln is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 3 of the CHEK2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. In a human cell complementation assay, this variant did not impact KAP1 phosphorylation or CHEK2 autophosphorylation (PMID: 37449874). In two large breast cancer case-control meta-analyses, this variant has been reported in 2/60466 cases and 0/53461 unaffected controls (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID CHEK2_000609), and 1/73048 cases and 0/88658 unaffected controls (PMID: 37449874). This variant has been identified in 3/244852 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R3Q variant (also known as c.8G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 8. The arginine at codon 3 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 3 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Arg3Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs779607427, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CHEK2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 418127). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The glutamine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
