Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 7P and 2B. PS3PM1PP5BP4BS2_Supporting

The NM_007194.4(CHEK2):​c.1427C>T​(p.Thr476Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000404 in 1,595,894 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 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: "SCV000821724: "algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function suggest that this variant is likely to be damaging to the protein, a prediction supported also by experimental studies." PMID:22114986, PMID:22419737" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T476K) 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.

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000821724: "algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function suggest that this variant is likely to be damaging to the protein, a prediction supported also by experimental studies." PMID:22114986, PMID:22419737; SCV003799997: "In vitro kinase assays and in vivo DNA damage response assays with the variant protein showed a loss of kinase activity and impaired function (Delimitsou 2019, Desrichard 2011, Kleiblova 2019, Roeb 2012)."; SCV000437714: The variant was absent from a total of 1,622 controls, but is reported at a frequency of 0.00068 in the European (Non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Desrichard et al. (2011) developed an in vitro kinase activity assay to assess the activity of missense variants in CHEK2. In this assay the p.Thr476Met variant demonstrated no kinase activity and was similar to a known non-functional kinase variant of CHEK2. In addition, Roeb et al. (2012) developed a yeast-based in-vivo functional assay to assess the effect of CHEK2 variants on the repair of DNA damage. Cells with wild-type CHEK2 repaired the DNA damage while cells with a known non-functional variant of CHEK2 did not. The p.Thr476Met variant was shown to have loss of function by this DNA damage response assay.; SCV000914986: Desrichard et al.

PMID:22843597; SCV000806869: "In vitro and in vivo experimental studies suggest this variant results in reduced or absent kinase activity and DNA damage response (Desrichard et al. 2011.

An additional functional study using protein expression in yeast found that his variant results in semi-functional kinase activity (Delimitsou et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30851065)."
PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 47 uncertain in NM_007194.4
PP5
Variant 22-28694066-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-28694066-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 128060.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.34246725). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 47 AD,Unknown gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
