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.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 509 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Pro509Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs587782541, gnomAD 0.06%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with personal or family history of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and/or prostate cancer (PMID: 18571837, 31742824). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142554). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The leucine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on CHEK2 function (PMID: 30851065). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The p.P509L variant (also known as c.1526C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1526. The proline at codon 509 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been reported in an Ashkenazi Jewish prostate cancer cohort; however, no significant disease association was observed (Tischkowitz M et al. Cancer Lett. 2008 Oct;270:173-80). This variant was also identified in 1/882 Chinese individuals who underwent multi-gene panel testing for HBOC risk assessment (Shao D et al. Cancer Sci, 2020 Feb;111:647-657) and in at least one subject in a study of 13087 breast cancer cases and 5488 control individuals in the UK (Decker B et al. J Med Genet, 2017 11;54:732-741). This alteration behaved as semi-functional in an in vivo, yeast-based growth rate assay (Delimitsou A et al. Hum Mutat, 2019 05;40:631-648). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with prostate cancer (PMID: 18571837 (2008)), breast cancer (PMID: 28779002 (2017), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/CHEK2)), and suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) (PMID: 31742824 (2020)). This variant has also been reported in unaffected individuals (PMID: 28779002 (2017), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/CHEK2)). A functional study reported this variant had an intermediate effect on protein function in an in vivo assay (PMID: 30851065 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00059 (6/10150 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Variant summary: CHEK2 c.1526C>T (p.Pro509Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.1e-05 in 233646 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1526C>T has been reported in the literature in at least one individuals affected with prostate cancer and in at least one individual undergoing multigene panel testing for a clinical suspicion of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (e.g.Tischkowitz_2008, Shao_2019). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. A study evaluating the impact of the variant on protein function using an in vivo yeast-based functional assay found the variant to have intermmediate function compared to the WT protein and the negative control (Delimitsou_2019). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as VUS (n=5) or likely benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
