RCV000464194 | SCV000564064 | pathogenic | Familial cancer of breast | 2016-11-03 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon 8 of the CHEK2 gene. This creates a premature translational stop signal and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. While this particular gross deletion has not been reported in the literature, exon-level deletions in CHEK2 have been reported in affected patients and are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16551709, 24763289, 17085682). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
