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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln496*) in the CHEK2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CHEK2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21876083, 24713400). This variant is present in population databases (rs756250205, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with melanoma and ovarian cancer (PMID: 27083775). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 230455). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q496* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1486C>T) located in coding exon 13 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1486. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 13. This alteration was reported as disease causing in a cohort of 439 unselected cancer patients undergoing simultaneous tumor sequencing and germline analysis (Seifert BA et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2016 Aug;22:4087-94) and also identified in 1/11,416 individuals with breast, ovarian or histories of both cancers and in 0/3988 internal controls (Lu HM et al. JAMA Oncol, 2018 Aug). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 14 of the CHEK2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 30128536) and in an individual affected with ovarian cancer and melanoma (PMID: 27083775). This variant has been identified in 1/229072 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD).

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: CHEK2 c.1486C>T (p.Gln496X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 233606 control chromosomes (gnomAD v2.1, exomes dataset). The variant, c.1486C>T, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with breast-, ovarian-, and prostate cancer and other tumor phenotypes (Seifert_2016, Lu_2018, Nassar_2020, Sutcliffe_2020, Dorling_2021), but was also found in healthy controls (Dorling_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
