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.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.74).
BP6
Variant 22-28703495-T-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr22-28703495-T-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 377659.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 35 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

PM2_Supporting, BP4, BP7 CHEK2:c.908+10A>G, is an intronic variant not very close to a canonical splice site, where the SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing (BP4 and BP7). It is not present in the population database gnomAD v2.1.1, non-cancer dataset (PM2_supporting). To our knowledge, neither relevant case-control data nor well-established functional studies have been reported for this variant. It has been reported in 4 cancer patients from our internal cohort. This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database (4x likely benign, 1x uncertain significance), and has not been reported in the LOVD. Based on currently available information, the variant c.908+10A>G should be considered a likely benign variant, according to the ACMG/AMP guidelines. -
