not provided Uncertain:2
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33471991) -
The CHEK2 c.269C>T (p.Pro90Leu) variant has been reported in the published literature in a large scale breast cancer association study in 2 breast cancer cases and 1 reportedly healthy individual (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared)). In another large case-control dataset, this variant was observed in 1 breast cancer case and in 0 reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 37449874 (2023)). Assessment of experimental evidence regarding the effect of this variant on protein function suggests it has no effect relevant to disease (PMID: 37449874 (2023)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000026 (3/113656 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 conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

The p.P90L variant (also known as c.269C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 269. The proline at codon 90 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was reported in 2/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 1/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). 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. -
Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 90 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Pro90Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs758792132, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CHEK2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 483394). 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. 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. -
