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 frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000064 (8/124118 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in an individual with lung cancer (PMID: 33594163 (2021)). Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

PM2_Supporting c.*2dup is a duplication of one nucleotide located in the untranslated mRNA region downstream of the final stop codon of the gene. This variant is found in 9/253732 alleles at a frequency of 0.0035% in the gnomAD v2.1.1 database, non-cancer dataset (PM2_supporting). The SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing, but in silico prediction are not calibrated for UTR regions.To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in the literature in patient affected with lung cancer (PMID: 33594163) and in a non-cancer related cohort (PMID: 31422574). It has also been identified in a patient affected with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor and breast cancer (internal data). It has only been reported in ClinVar database (1x benign, 1x likely benign, 3x uncertain significance). Based on currently available information, the variant c.*2dup should be considered an uncertain significance variant. -

The c.*2dupC variant is located in the 3' untranslated region (3&rsquo;UTR) of the CHEK2 gene. This variant results from the duplication of C two nucleotides after the termination codon of the CHEK2 gene. This alteration occurs within the non-coding region of the gene and may not interfere with gene function; however, since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Variant summary: CHEK2 c.*2dupC is located in the untranslated mRNA region downstream of the termination codon. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.9e-05 in 233634 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.*2dupC has been reported in the literature in a study looking at prevalence of genetic susceptibility for breast and ovarian cancer in a non-cancer related cohort (Karemer_2019). This report does not provide an unequivocal conclusion about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant once as likely benign and once as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
