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 p.E504Q variant (also known as c.1510G>C), located in coding exon 13 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1510. The glutamic acid at codon 504 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was detected in 0/1054 Hispanic BRCA1/2-negative probands with hereditary breast cancer and 2/1189 controls (Weitzel JN et al. Cancer, 2019 Aug;125:2829-2836). 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 poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 504 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Glu504Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs587782489, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or colorectal cancer (PMID: 28577310, 35957908). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142479). 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 have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect CHEK2 function (PMID: 28577310). 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. -

The CHEK2 c.1510G>C (p.Glu504Gln) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual with a Lynch Syndrome-like phenotype (28577310 (2017)) and an individual undergoing hereditary cancer panel testing (PMID: 25318351 (2014)). It has also been observed in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 31206626 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00026 (9/35206 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 predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Variant summary: CHEK2 c.1510G>C (p.Glu504Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.3e-05 in 233634 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00026 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1510G>C has been reported in the literature in an individual with MSH2-deficient colorectal cancer in whom a germline MSH2 alteration was not reportedly identified (example, Vargas-Parra_2017), as a VUS in settings of multigene panel testing in an individual tested for an unspecified hereditary cancer (example, Yorczyk_2015) and as a VUS in settings of multigene panel testing in an individual with BRCA-negative breast cancer (example, Weitzel_2019). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Delimitsou_2019). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant in a yeast-based in-vitro assay. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (VUS, n=7; likely benign, n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
