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.

Familial cancer of breast

Uncertain:3

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Mar 08, 2023	This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance as there is insufficient evidence to determine its impact on protein function and/or cancer risk. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Counsyl	Jun 13, 2017	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 10, 2023	This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 439 of the CHEK2 protein (p.Gln439His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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: 240737). 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Sep 05, 2019	This missense variant replaces glutamine with histidine at codon 439 of the CHEK2 protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has not been identified 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Mar 18, 2024	The p.Q439H variant (also known as c.1317G>T), located in coding exon 11 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1317. The glutamine at codon 439 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration demonstrated intermediate function in a study assessing CHEK2-complementation through quantification of KAP1 phosphorylation and was functional in a study of CHK2 autophosphorylation in human RPE1-CHEK2-knockout cells (Stolarova L et al. Clin Cancer Res, 2023 Aug;29:3037-3050). 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. -

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences

Mar 13, 2024

The CHEK2 c.1317G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gln439His. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/240737). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
