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.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant, c.885_887del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the CHEK2 protein (p.Glu295del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs771860071, 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: 240759). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exon 8, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.885_887delAGA variant (also known as p.E295del) is located in coding exon 7 of the CHEK2 gene. This variant results from an in-frame AGA deletion at nucleotide positions 885 to 887. This results in the in-frame deletion of a glutamic acid at codon 295. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in an incomplete splice defect; the clinical impact of this abnormal splicing is unknown at this time (Ambry internal data). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes an in-frame deletion of one amino acid in the CHEK2 protein. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with early-onset breast cancer (PMID: 32885271). This variant has been identified in 2/216304 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. -

CHEK2, EXON08, c.885_887del, p.Glu295del, Heterozygous, Uncertain Significance The CHEK2 p.Glu295del variant was not identified in the literature. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs771860071) as "With Uncertain significance allele" and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, Ambry Genetics and Counsyl). The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016) or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). This variant is an in-frame deletion resulting in the removal of a glutamic acid (Glu) residue at codon 295; the impact of this alteration on CHEK2 protein function is not known. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. Assessment Date: 2019/07/22. -
