| Ambry Genetics | RCV000129171 | SCV000183904 | uncertain significance | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2016-05-02 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.*5C>T variant is located in the 3' untranslated region (3’ UTR) of the CHEK2 gene. This variant results from a C to T substitution 5 nucleotides after the last translated exon of the CHEK2 gene. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 3663 samples (7326 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.002% (greater than 130000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of c.*5C>T remains unclear. |

RCV001357135 | SCV001552502 | uncertain significance | not provided | no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | The CHEK2 c.*5C>T variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the Cosmic, MutDB, and Zhejiang University Database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs587781367) as “With Uncertain significance allele”, in ClinVar (classified uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics and likely benign by GeneDx), and in control databases in 2 of 229070 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000009 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the following populations: African in 1 of 13844 chromosomes (freq: 0.00007) and South Asian in 1 of 30508 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003); it was not observed in the Other, Latino, European Non-Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, and European Finnish populations. The variant occurs in the 3’UTR but is not in a region known to affect transcriptional termination. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. |
