Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
This missense variant replaces leucine with proline at codon 193 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). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 28779002, 29522266, 33471991). This variant has been identified in 3/251400 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. -
The p.L193P variant (also known as c.578T>C), located in coding exon 3 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 578. The leucine at codon 193 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in 1/13087 breast cancer cases and in 0/5488 control individuals in the UK (Decker B et al. J Med Genet, 2017 11;54:732-741). This alteration was also detected in 1/5589 German BRCA1/2-negative probands with breast cancer (Hauke J et al. Cancer Med, 2018 Apr;7:1349-1358). In one study, this alteration was reported as functionally impaired for CHEK2-complementation through quantification of KAP1 phosphorylation and functionally intermediate for CHEK2-complementation through quantification of 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 poorly 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. -

not provided Uncertain:1
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; Observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (Decker et al., 2017); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25318351, 27621404, 30851065, 31206626, 22419737, 19782031, Chavarri-Guerra2021[PosterAbstract], Ding2022[preprint], 32598223, 28779002) -
Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 193 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Leu193Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs766599514, gnomAD 0.006%). 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: 216647). 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. -
