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 variant is denoted CHEK2 c.1461+5G>T or IVS13+5G>T and consists of a G>T nucleotide substitution at the +5 position of intron 13 of the CHEK2 gene. Multiple in silico models predict this variant to damage the nearby natural donor site, and to possibly cause abnormal gene splicing. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. The guanine (G) nucleotide that is altered is conserved across species. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether CHEK2 c.1461+5G>T is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

The c.1461+5G>T intronic variant results from a G to T substitution 5 nucleotides after coding exon 12 in the CHEK2 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change falls in intron 13 of the CHEK2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CHEK2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.006%). 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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 418975). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CHEK2-related conditions. -
