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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 18, 2023The p.D296Y variant (also known as c.886G>T), located in coding exon 7 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 886. The aspartic acid at codon 296 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. 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). This alteration was detected in a cohort of 105 Brazilian women with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Bandeira G et al. Breast Cancer, 2021 Mar;28:346-354), and detected in 1/1197 patients with breast cancer who underwent genetic testing (Abdel-Razeq H et al. Front Oncol, 2022 Mar;12:673094). This alteration was observed with an allele frequency of 0.00142 in 7,051 unselected female breast cancer patients and was also observed with an allele frequency of 0.00044 in 11,241 female controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. Nat Commun. 2018 10;9:4083). This alteration has been reported with a carrier frequency of 0.00144 in 7,636 unselected prostate cancer patients and 0.00073 in 12,366 male controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. J Natl Cancer Inst, 2020 04;112:369-376). This variant was also reported in 4/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 1/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). In a study assessing CHEK2-complementation, this alteration was functionally impaired through quantification of KAP1 phosphorylation but functional through 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. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMay 16, 2016This variant is denoted CHEK2 c.886G>T at the cDNA level, p.Asp296Tyr (D296Y) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Aspartic Acid to a Tyrosine (GAT>TAT). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. CHEK2 Asp296Tyr was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Aspartic Acid and Tyrosine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. CHEK2 Asp296Tyr occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located in the protein kinase domain (Roeb 2012, Desrichard 2011). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether CHEK2 Asp296Tyr is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 02, 2023This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 296 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Asp296Tyr). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with CHEK2-related conditions as well as unaffected individuals (PMID: 30287823, 32986223, 35534218, 36243179). This variant is also known as c.1015G>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232099). 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
