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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 01, 2023	This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 57 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Ser57Phe). This variant is present in population databases (rs730881695, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28709830, 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182445). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Dec 14, 2020	This missense variant replaces serine with phenylalanine at codon 57 of the CHEK2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). A functional study in yeast has shown this variant to be benign (PMID: 30851065). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer, who also carried a pathogenic RAD51C variant (PMID: 28709830). This variant has been identified in 1/251454 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jan 09, 2024	The p.S57F variant (also known as c.170C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 170. The serine at codon 57 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration was detected in conjunction with a pathogenic RAD51C mutation in an individual with early-onset breast cancer (Schoolmeester JK et al. Hum. Pathol., 2017 12;70:14-26). This alteration was also detected in an individual diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (Cremin C et al. Cancer Med, 2020 06;9:4004-4013). This alteration behaved as functional in an in vivo, yeast-based growth rate assay (Delimitsou A et al. Hum Mutat, 2019 05;40:631-648). This alteration was also reported as functional in a study assessing CHEK2-complementation through quantification of KAP1 phosphorylation and CHK2 autophosphorylation in human RPE1-CHEK2-knockout cells (Stolarova L et al. Clin Cancer Res, 2023 Aug;29:3037-3050). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: CHEK2 c.170C>T (p.Ser57Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251454 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.170C>T has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with breast cancer. This patient also carried a RAD51C exon 6 deletion (Schoolmeester_2017). This report however, does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. In a yeast functional assay, this variant was found to be benign (Delimitsou_2019). However, this evidence does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect. Five ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS - possibly benign. -
