Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5

The NM_007194.4(CHEK2):c.1100_1101del(p.Thr367ArgfsTer27) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T367T) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 22-28695867-CAG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-28695867-CAG-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 438773.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.

This variant has been previously reported as disease-causing and was found once in our study paternally inherited in a 5-year-old female with Wilms tumor. The patient also had a heterozygous frameshift variant in DIS3L2, with the tumor showing LOH for that region, and a paternally inherited nonsense variant in FANCC. -
