Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 5P and 1B. PS3PP5BP4

The NM_007194.4(CHEK2):​c.1283C>T​(p.Ser428Phe) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000276 in 1,610,148 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV002070845: Functional studies show p.Ser428Phe disrupts the function of the CHEK2 protein (PMIDs: 15649950, 22419737)" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S428P) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV002070845: Functional studies show p.Ser428Phe disrupts the function of the CHEK2 protein (PMIDs: 15649950, 22419737); SCV000292126: Functional studies have shown that the mutant protein is partially defective in DNA damage repair function (PMID: 15649950, 18571837, 22419737), but a complementation assay in human cells showed this variant did not impact KAP1 phosphorylation or CHEK2 autophosphorylation (PMID: 37449874).; SCV000821728: experimental studies in yeast have shown that this variant disrupts CHEK2 protein function (PMID: 15649950, 22419737).; SCV000253983: Experimental studies in yeast have shown that the Ser428Phe substitution abrogates CHEK2 protein function to a similar extent as other partially damaging alleles (PMID: 15649950, 22419737).; SCV000839938: Functional assays in yeast showed that the mutant allele disrupt the the normal function of CHEK2 [PMID 15649950].; SCV000149903: Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: loss of CHEK2-mediated DNA damage response and impaired protein function in yeast complementation assays (Shaag et al., 2005; Tischkowitz et al., 2008; Roeb et al., 2012); SCV000437715: Functional studies in yeast based on a lack of complementation of RAD53 demonstrated that the variant abrogates CHEK2 function (Shaag et al. 2005; Tischkowitz et al. 2008; Roeb et al. 2012).; SCV000698769: "In functional studies by multiple independent research groups this variant showed a reduced ability to complement the lethality of a Rad53 deletion in S. cerevisiae (Shaag_2005, Tischkowitz_2008, Roeb_2012, Yilmaz_2014)."; SCV001549025: Functional studies revealed this variant to have loss of CHEK2-mediated DNA damage response (Roeb 2012) and to impair protein function in yeast complementation assays (Shaag 2005, Tischkowitz 2008); however, these studies are not considered sufficient evidence of pathogenicity because of the known variability of yeast assays for CHEK2 (Mundt 2017). Roeb 2012; SCV001653110: In vivo functional studies in yeast support an impact on protein function (Shaag 2005 PMID: 15649950, Roeb 2012 PMID: 22419737).; SCV004752724: "In addition, this variant was shown to abrogate CHEK2 function in yeast complementation assays (Shaaq et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15649950; Roeb et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22419737)."; SCV000914987: Functional studies in yeast based on a lack of complementation of RAD53 demonstrated that the variant abrogates CHEK2 function (Shaag et al. 2005; Tischkowitz et al. 2008; Roeb et al. 2012).; SCV006557194: Experimental studies in yeast have shown that this substitution abrogates CHEK2 protein function.
PP5
Variant 22-28695219-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-28695219-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 5603.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.013116658). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.
