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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Counsyl	Mar 18, 2016	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Aug 16, 2015	This sequence change falls in the 3'UTR of the CHEK2 gene. It does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CHEK2 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs121908710, 0.02%) and has been reported in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (RCV000160461, RCV000119290 ). In summary, this is rare change that is not expected to impact CHEK2 protein. However the evidence is insufficient at this time to prove that conclusively. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The CHEK2 c.*7T>C variant was not identified in the literature. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs121908710) as "With other allele", ClinVar (classified as benign by GeneDx; as likely being by Color; as uncertain significance by three submitters). The variant was identified in control databases in 40 of 260056 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0002 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European in 7 of 121970 chromosomes (freq: 0.00006), Ashkenazi Jewish in 33 of 9956 chromosomes (freq: 0.003), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, East Asian, Finnish, and South Asian populations. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
