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.

Pathogenic:4

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jul 17, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp497Ilefs*16) in the CHEK2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 47 amino acid(s) of the CHEK2 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs774175654, gnomAD 0.007%). 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: 185176). This variant disrupts the nuclear localization signal (NLS) of the CHEK2 protein, which is critical for proper nuclear localization (PMID: 18004398, 12909615). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect of this variant on CHEK2 protein function, this suggests that disruption of this region of the protein is causative of disease. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Ambry Genetics

The c.1489delG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 13 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1489, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D497Ifs*16). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of the CHEK2 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 47 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
