Ambry Genetics RCV001012114 SCV001172531 likely pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-04-06 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.1543-2A>C intronic variant results from an A to C substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 14 in the CHEK2 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic.
Invitae RCV001862785 SCV002257270 likely pathogenic Familial cancer of breast 2023-01-05 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 14 of the CHEK2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely disrupts the C-terminus of the protein. 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. This variant disrupts the nuclear localization signal (NLS) of the CHEK2 protein, which is critical for proper nuclear localization (PMID: 18004398, 12909615). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect of this variant on CHEK2 protein function, this suggests that disruption of this region of the protein is causative of disease. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 15 and activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a new termination codon (Invitae). However the mRNA is not expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 819509). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CHEK2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency).
