Ambry Genetics | RCV000571096 | SCV000676006 | uncertain significance | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2016-09-07 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.C362W variant (also known as c.1086T>G), located in coding exon 9 of the CHEK2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 1086. The cysteine at codon 362 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. 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 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.0004% (greater than 200000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. |
