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 sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 232 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Gly232Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs779322187, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer, prostate cancer, and/or uterine cancer (PMID: 29659569, 35264596, 35534704). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 460852). 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. -

The p.G232V variant (also known as c.695G>T), located in coding exon 5 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 695. The glycine at codon 232 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration was detected in 1/121 prostate cancer cases (Paulo P et al. PLoS Genet, 2018 04;14:e1007355). This alteration was also detected in a cohort of 1663 Brazilian breast cancer patients who underwent hereditary multigene panel testing (Guindalini RSC et al. Sci Rep, 2022 Mar;12:4190). This alteration was reported as functionally impaired 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, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces glycine with valine at codon 232 of the CHEK2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function. Functional studies have shown that this variant is defective in KAP1 and CHK2 in vitro kinase assays (PMID: 37449874). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast and prostate cancers in the literature (PMID: 29659569, 35264596, 37436117). This variant has been identified in 1/251354 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. -
