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.

Variant summary: CHEK2 c.1597A>G (p.Thr533Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00014 in 233692 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0017 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 5-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in CHEK2 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome phenotype (0.00031). c.1597A>G has been reported in the literature in one individual with a melanoma arising in a congenital nevus of Ito, however germline or somatic status was not clearly established (Tse_2016). Additionally, the variant was reported in a patient with breast cancer (Xie_2017). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Wu_2003, Delimitsou_2019, Stolarova_2023), all of which unanimously showed no damaging effect of this variant by kinase activity or localization assays. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30851065, 37449874, 26260725, 12855706, 28580595). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142032). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

The CHEK2 c.1597A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr533Ala. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (Table S2, Hauke et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29522266; described as p.Thr576Ala in Table S3, Xie et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 28580595) and an individual with advanced cancer (eTable, Mandelker et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28873162). It has been reported along with variants in other genes as a possible somatic variant in a melanoma specimen (Table 2, Tse et al. 2016. PubMed ID 26260725) and a colorectal cancer specimen (Table S2, Mei et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29703253). Assessment using an in vivo, yeast based, functional assay suggests this variant is benign (Table 1, Delimitsou et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30851065). This variant has been reported at a frequency of 0.17% in individuals of East Asian origin in gnomAD. However, this variant falls within a highly paralogous region and allele frequency data should be interpreted with caution. It has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity in ClinVar, ranging from uncertain significance to benign (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/142032/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
