Invitae | RCV000636054 | SCV000757486 | likely pathogenic | Familial cancer of breast | 2018-01-09 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross duplication of the genomic region encompassing exons 6-7 of the CHEK2 gene. While the exact position of the duplicated exons cannot be determined from this data, sub-genic duplications are generally in tandem (PMID: 25640679) and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with CHEK2-related disease. Loss-of-function variants in CHEK2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21876083, 24713400). 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. |
