This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Variant summary: The CHEK2 c.254C>T (p.Pro85Leu) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 2/3 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was found in 143/130972 control chromosomes (1 homozygote) including ExAC, predominantly observed in the African subpopulation at a frequency of 0.007411 (77/10390). This frequency is about 24 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic CHEK2 variant (0.0003125), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of African origin. This variant has been reported in multiple breast cancer patients without clear evidence supporting causality. Although one functional study showed in vitro kinase actitiy of CHEK2 p.P85L was 40-50% of wild-type CHEK2, two additional functional studies showed this variant does not affect yeast growth rate or in vivo response to DNA damage. In addition, multiple clinical laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as benign/likely benign. Taken together, this variant was classified as likely benign. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:4
- -
This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

The CHEK2 p.Pro85Leu variant was identified in 31 of 5508 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.01) from individuals or families with breast cancer and was present in 31 of 6844 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.005) from healthy individuals (Bell 2007, Shaag 2005, Le Calvez-Kelm 2011, Bodian 2014). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs17883862 as With Pathogenic, Uncertain significance allele), ClinVar (classified as benign by GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, Invitae, Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano, and Color Genomics and as likely benign by Counsyl and four other clinical laboratories) and the Zhejiang University Database (as neutral allele). The variant was not identified in Cosmic or MutDB. The variant was identified in control databases in 285 of 277140 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.001, increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). This variant was observed in the following populations: African in 192 of 24018 chromosomes (freq: 0.008), Ashkenazi Jewish in 39 of 10152 chromosomes (freq: 0.004), Latino in 33 of 34416 chromosomes (freq: 0.001), Other in 1 of 6460 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), European in 18 of 126662 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), and South Asian in 2 of 30780 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), but not in the East Asian or Finnish populations. The p.Pro85 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predicts a greater than 10% difference in splicing. Several in vitro studies show DNA damage response by this variant is consistent with that of the wild-type protein (Nevanlinna 2006, Shaag 2005, Roeb 2012). In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -
