Description

The CHEK2 c.349A>G (p.Arg117Gly) missense change has a maximum frequency of 0.019% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/22-29121326-T-C?dataset=gnomad_r2_1). Seven of seven in silico tools predict a deleterious effect of this variant on protein function (PP3). Several functional studies suggest that this variant is pathogenic, demonstrating a strongly reduced CHEK2-mediated DNA damage response, impaired kinase activity, and incomplete phosphorylation (PS3; PMID: 18725978, 22419737, 30851065, 16835864, 16982735). This variant has been identified in many cancer cases including familial breast/ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, colorectal, as well as other cancer types (PMID: 12454775, 15095295, 21244692, 26681312, 28125075, 29439820, 29659569, 29439820, 29945567, 30322717, 30256826, 28709830, 30426508, 31090900, 31263054, 31206626, 32906215, 30676620, 32906215). A case-control study showed evidence of association with breast cancer (PS4; OR = 2.26; PMID: 27595995), but no association with prostate and ovarian cancer. In addition, the variant segregated with breast cancer in three families, although it was not identified in all affected family members (PMID: 12610780) This variant is present 2x in the FLOSSIES database which contains genetic variants from women older than 70 years of age who have never had cancer (BS2_supporting; https://whi.color.com/). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: PS3, PS4, PP3, BS2_supporting.
